$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE with ESC not working in new loop

[TheAutomator]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know why the ESC button doesn't close my form in the second loop?

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate('test', 600, 400, -1, -1)


$BTN = GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 10, 10, 80, 30)


GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While True
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BTN
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd


ConsoleWrite("Second Loop" & @CRLF)
GUICtrlDelete($BTN)


While True
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ;just hear the 'ding' sound if i press ESC...
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Regards

TheAutomator,

If I add a button and show the GUI it works for me:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate('test', 600, 400, -1, -1)

$BTN = GUICtrlCreateButton("Press", 10, 10, 80, 30)

GUISetState()

While True
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $BTN
            ExitLoop
    EndSwitch
WEnd

ConsoleWrite("Second Loop" & @CRLF)

While True
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ;just hear the 'ding' sound if i press ESC...
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

TheAutomator,

Interesting - it appears that you need to have an actionable control in the GUI for ESC to close it.

I will investigate further.

Ok, thanks Melba23,

I hope its not a bug

[Melba23]

TheAutomator,

Well, if it is then it is one that has not been found for a very long time. Anyway, I doubt it is very common to delete the only actionable control in a GUI and then expect to close it using [ESC}, so I do not see it as a terrible serious one.

TheAutomator,

After a lot of experimentation, it has been noticed that if the GUI loses focus and then regains it the "close on {ESCAPE} key" option starts working again. So if you want to open a Trac ticket be my guest - but personally I regard the likelihood of a GUI losing all its actionable controls and then expecting to close on {ESCAPE) such a rare occurrence that fixing it would not get a very high priority.

Melba23,

Ok so it's nothing serious, that's a good thing

So no Trac ticket then?

As I said, only if you want to open one yourself.
