GUI IN GUI

[JuanFelipe]

Hello friends,
I would like to know how to open a GUI from another GUI, I did it the way I leave the attached code, but when closing the second GUI they all close, they could help me to solve this problem without compiling another script. Thank you

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 173, 126, 192, 124)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 16, 24, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

         Case $Button1
            _form2()

    EndSwitch
WEnd

;================================================= GUI 2
Func _form2()
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form2", 615, 437, 192, 124)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 2
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
       Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd
EndFunc

JuanFelipe,

I suggest reading the Managing Multiple GUIs tutorial in the Wiki - that will explain how to do it.

Couple of pointers:

1. Always rename your Guis differently e.g. in your code you have main Gui called Form1 and additional Gui also named Form1, doing so allows you to target the correct Gui.
2. Don't use Exit unless you wish to close your entire script, instead Exit the loop and use GuiDelete.

But as Melba23 mentioned read the link he provided and also the help file.

Thanks! I will try.

@JuanFelipe,

Something like this.

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 173, 126, 192, 124)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button1", 16, 24, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

         Case $Button1
            _form2()

    EndSwitch
WEnd

;================================================= GUI 2
Func _form2()
$Form2 = GUICreate("Form2", 615, 437, 192, 124)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 2
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
    Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
      GUIDelete($Form2)
      GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $Form1)
      Return
    EndSwitch
WEnd
EndFunc
