How to escape GUIButton?

[Medallyon]

Dear AutoIt Community,

I need some clarification as to why GUI does not work as planned. This is the snippet of code that's troubling me:

Else
      GUICreate("Path", 320, 120, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 45, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
      Local $idFile = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 300, 20)
      GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
      Local $idPath = GUICtrlRead($idFile)
      GUICtrlCreateLabel("Type path of .exe or drag file into InputBox", 10, 35)
      Local $idBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 160 - 30, 75, 60, 20)
      GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

      ; Loop until the user exits.
      While 1
         Switch GUIGetMsg()
            Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
               ExitLoop
            Case $idBtn
               ExitLoop
         EndSwitch
      WEnd

      Run($idPath)
      ProcessWait("Patcher.exe")
      WinWait("Patcher")
      WinWaitActive("Patcher")
      If Not WinActive("Patcher") Then
         WinActivate("atcher")
      EndIf
   EndIf

My problem here is that when I want to exit the created GUI or press the button $idBtn, it won't exit. However, when I execute the following snippet by itself, it works.

GUICreate("Path", 320, 120, @DesktopWidth / 2 - 160, @DesktopHeight / 2 - 45, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
   Local $idFile = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 5, 300, 20)
   GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
   Local $idPath = GUICtrlRead($idFile)
   GUICtrlCreateLabel("Type path of .exe or drag file into InputBox", 10, 35)
   Local $idBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 160 - 30, 75, 60, 20)

   GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

   ; Loop until the user exits.
   While 1
      Switch GUIGetMsg()
         Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
         Case $idBtn
            ExitLoop
      EndSwitch
   WEnd

I don't know what to do.

Mny Thanks in advance,

Medallyon,

The script is almost certainly halting at either the ProcessActive or WinWaitActive lines - add a timeout to them both so that the script proceeds with the loop until the process and GUI are present.

P.S. And seeing the name of the process/GUI, could I point you to the Forum rules if you have not already read them.

Thanks for your quick response.

Medallyon,

I added a timeout to both of the lines but that did nothing.

P.S. And seeing the name of the process/GUI, could I point you to the Forum rules if you have not already read them.

Ayy, I know the rules. My script in no way or form messes with games or game integrity (as far as I know). It's a mere process of clicking Login so that I don't have to do it.

Why?

Because 

1. I have too much time on my hands
2. I take joy in creating things

This is the full code:

If you have any more ideas I could try out, I welcome you to share them

Many thanks in advance,

Medallyon,

Ayy, I know the rules.

Really? So how do you square this line:

Run("lol.launcher.exe")

with this prohibition?

Do not ask for help with AutoIt scripts, post links to, or start discussion topics on the following subjects:
