[AlienStar]

hello everybody

after I disable a GUI I need to be able to minimize 

GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE, $hGUI)

how to do please ?

[TheXman]

Is this some sort of trick question?   

What happens when you use @SW_MINIMIZE?

there are operations with a progress bar in my script and they take a while  to finish.

and I need to disable the GUI to prevent re-click on the buttons

so until the operation finishes I may need to minimize the script to do something else .

here is an example explain more

expandcollapse popup

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

; Create a GUI with various controls.
Local $hGUI = GUICreate("Test")
Local $idsubmit = GUICtrlCreateButton("Submit", 20, 50, 85, 25)
Local $idfltr = GUICtrlCreateButton("Filter", 20, 100, 85, 25)
Local $iddel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Delete", 20, 150, 85, 25)

Local $array[10]

; Display the GUI.
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hGUI)

; Loop until the user exits.
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
            ;=======================
        Case $idsubmit
            GUISetState(@SW_DISABLE, $hGUI)
            $size = UBound($array) - 1
            ProgressOn("Progress", "in pending", "0%", -1, -1)
            For $i = 0 To $size
                ;-------------
                $ip = (100 / UBound($array)) * $i
                ProgressSet($ip, Round($ip, 0) & "% - " & $i & "/" & UBound($array))
                ;-------------
                $array[$i] = $i + 2 * $i
                Sleep(500)
            Next
            ;-------------
            ProgressOff()
            _ArrayDisplay($array)
            GUISetState(@SW_ENABLE, $hGUI)
            ;=======================
    EndSwitch
WEnd

; Delete the previous GUI and all controls.

thanks my friend but I don't wanna minimize at first 

because maybe I don't need to do.

all what I need is the ability to minimize (or move) gui after disabling

Instead of disabling the whole GUI, why don't you simply disable the controls that you do not want the user to press while in progress.  That would solve your issue.

This idea crossed my mind but I have about 20 controls so I need to make a loop to disable them then enable each time 

That's why I've asked this question

if I don't reach an answer I'll make that loop  

thanks my friend 

[Nine]

It is easier to make that loop than trying to simulate a border click to minimize the GUI.  Just create a Func and pass the state (@SW_ENABLE/@SW_DISABLE) as a parameter.

OK thanks my friend
