Ok is there a way of closing a window other than using the end command.

what i want to do is open a window for the main program.. then open another window within the structure of the main program... Ok i can do this.. and it works. but i need to close the second window but not end the program.. later in the program the second window will be created again.

was easy in blitz basic 2 on the miggy. but cant find a way in the documents to do it in blitz max

ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEARS

THANKS in advance

Hi,

Its usually easier and faster to hide and show the windows when needed, as opposed to (re)creating them each time.

Try this


Import MaxGui.Drivers
SuperStrict
Local window:TGadget = CreateWindow("Main window", 100, 100, 320, 240, Null, WINDOW_TITLEBAR|WINDOW_STATUS )
Local window_child:TGadget = CreateWindow("Child window", 300, 200, 320, 240, Null, WINDOW_TITLEBAR|WINDOW_STATUS )
Local btn_show:Tgadget=	CreateButton("Show",10,10,100,25,window)
Repeat
	WaitEvent()
	Print CurrentEvent.ToString()
	Select EventID()
		Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
			Select EventSource()
					Case window			End 'close everything
					Case window_child	HideGadget window_child
			End Select
			
		Case event_gadgetaction
			Select EventSource()
					Case btn_show		ShowGadget window_child
			End Select
	End Select
Forever

You can also only use main window, place your stuff on different panels and hide / show them as needed.
