Excuse me, but can I know why is the below code not working? _MsgBoxEx(48, "Test", "Taste", -1, -1, "Pest", "Paste")

Hello, why is the below code not splitting buttons? (_MsgBox) _MsgBox(48, "Test", "Test", -1, 0, "Pest|Paste") TD

@binhnx Thanks, Solved

#include-once ; -- Created with ISN Form Studio 2 for ISN AutoIt Studio -- ; #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Include <GuiButton.au3> Global $test_gui = GUICreate("test",300,300,-1,-1,-1,-1) GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF,$test_gui) GUISetState() ; Before: Global $test_child_gui = GUICreate("test child", 150, 150, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $test_gui) Global $test_child_gui = GUICreate("test child", 150, 150, 0, 0, BitOr($WS_CHILD, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS), -1, $test_gui) ; After GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000, $test_child_gui) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $test_child_gui) Global $test_child_gui2 = GUICreate("test child 2", 150, 150, 0, 0, BitOr($WS_CHILD, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS), -1, $test_gui) GUISetBkColor(0x00CCFF, $test_child_gui2) GUICtrlCreateButton("My Text",20,230,100,30,-1,-1) GUICtrlCreateButton("My Text",180,230,100,30,-1,-1) Global $red = GUICtrlCreateButton("Red", 20, 230, 100, 30, -1, -1) Global $blue = GUICtrlCreateButton("Blue", 180, 230, 100, 30, -1, -1) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit Case $red SwitchColour(1) Case $blue SwitchColour(2) EndSwitch WEnd Func SwitchColour($id) GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $test_child_gui) GUISetState(@SW_HIDE, $test_child_gui2) If $id = 1 Then GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $test_child_gui) Else GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $test_child_gui2) EndIf EndFunc I made this code for testing but the buttons are not being displayed, any help?

@binhnx A big thanks to you!!

Original answer from this post by binhnx, you should have a look at it if you need more information (Also to know the cons of using the following solution) . This post is made to make life easier for people who have been suffering from this problem Here is your answer: #include-once ; -- Created with ISN Form Studio 2 for ISN AutoIt Studio -- ; #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Include <GuiButton.au3> Global $test_gui = GUICreate("test",300,300,-1,-1,-1,-1) GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF,$test_gui) GUISetState() ; This is the faulty statement: Global $test_child_gui = GUICreate("test child", 150, 150, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $test_gui) Global $test_child_gui = GUICreate("test child", 150, 150, 0, 0, BitOr($WS_CHILD, $WS_VISIBLE, $WS_CLIPCHILDREN, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS), -1, $test_gui) ; You should change the faulty statement to the above correct statement to avoid the "Aero Window Apperence Delay" effect.... GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000, $test_child_gui) GUISetState() While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd Before: (click images to animate them) After: TD

@JakeKenmode Not working....

@binhnx You can refer to this thread... TD

@JakeKenmode I have already tried that but I need a more logical (i.e. sleep until main GUI appears completely) solution Thanks anyway Jake TD

@JLogan3o13 Updated the question

Hello, Please look at the image below: (Click for animation) Notice that the "Red" section appearing instantly before the Main GUI... Code: #include-once ; -- Created with ISN Form Studio 2 for ISN AutoIt Studio -- ; #include <GUIConstantsEx.au3> #include <WindowsConstants.au3> #Include <GuiButton.au3> Global $test_gui = GUICreate("test",300,300,-1,-1,-1,-1) GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF,$test_gui) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $test_gui) Global $test_child_gui = GUICreate("test child", 150, 150, 0, 0, $WS_POPUP, $WS_EX_MDICHILD, $test_gui) GUISetBkColor(0xFF0000, $test_child_gui) GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $test_child_gui) While 1 Switch GUIGetMsg() Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Exit EndSwitch WEnd How can I prevent it? Thanks in Advance

Sorry mpower, When I saw the word "cygwin" my mind instantly ignored your post... Although your idea works but installing cygwin is a burden in itself. I need a more simple & universal way of doing it, hope you don't mind my ignorance or rude kind of behavior Your work is greatly appreciated TD

@SadBunny You can refer to >this post TD

If transferred internally using 2 hard-disk in the same system with NTFS file system being used in both hard-disks, It will survive.... (Or a USB formatted in NTFS would carry the file safely )

Thanks water, I want my log files to survive in ext file-systems too

Yes, I can, but still I would like to know if there is a way.... Would you mind expanding "ADS"? TD

Hints Appreciated TD

I am simply adding some extra details to the log files like username, check-sum and then encrypting it

@water I prefer to keep my purpose for editing log with autoit confidential, please understand

Log files with 5 years of age

@water I would be sad if its true

Me too
