GUI closes but WinExists = 1?

[NassauSky]

Could this be any simpler? What's the proper way of checking the open/closed state of a window since this doesn't work.

 

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>  ; For $MB_TOPMOST

$hGUI = GUICreate("My Simple GUI", 300, 200)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "IsGUIOpen", IsGUIOpen())

WinClose($hGUI)

MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "IsGUIOpen", IsGUIOpen())

Func IsGUIOpen()
    If WinExists($hGUI) Then
        Return 1 ; GUI is open
    Else
        Return 0 ; GUI is closed
    EndIf
EndFunc

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "IsGUIOpen", IsGUIOpen())

GUIDelete($hGUI)

MsgBox($MB_TOPMOST, "IsGUIOpen", IsGUIOpen())

Func IsGUIOpen()
    Return WinExists("My Simple GUI")
EndFunc

Don't mix GUI functions with Win functions. Basically if you deal with a window created by GUICreate() then you destroy it with GUIDelete(). If you deal with windows that are not created by your script you can use Win functions.

 

PS: IsGUIOpen() can be even simpler, as you can see above

For the record, it's a similar situation like here.
