gui question control loses selection

[Bad husband]

I'm playing with a Calendar script I found on this wonderful site.

The GUI opens up and you have the calendar, I select the date and then select value from the dropdown list but my calendar selection becomes clear and I need to select the date again.

Is there a way that it doesn't lose the first section?

Code: Select all

Gui, Add, MonthCal, vDayPick
Gui, Add, DropDownList, vTimePick, 9:00am|10:00am|1:00pm|2:00pm
Gui, Add, DropDownList, vCourt, 11th|51st|125th|134th
Gui, Add, Button, Default, Submit
Gui, Show
return
 
ButtonSubmit:
Gui, Submit
FormatTime, DayPick, %DayPick%, dddd, MMMM d, yyyy
Send, %DayPick% at %TimePick% in the`r%Court% district court
Gui, Destroy
Return

Thanks for looking

cant reproduce it, win10 ahk 1.1.30.
1. select date
2. select value from drop down
3. select second value from drop down
4. press submit
text gets sent with the correct previously selected date

maybe he mean when he re-shows the gui. because he's using gui,destroy, he literally destroys the gui. all previous values are lost.

1. create the gui, usually at the top of the script.
2. then, if you want it gone, HIDE it. (gui, hide or gui, cancel). do not destroy it.
3. later on if you want to see it again, call gui,show only. do not re-create all of the gui. simply re-show it when needed.

but the way your code is setup, you do gui,submit. which automatically hides the window. do you don't even need the destroy/hide/cancel line I mentioned above..
