[SOLVED] Second GUI displays Blank Topic is solved

[HotkeyPOC]

Hey guys! I'm new to the forums and relatively new to using AHK.

I am running into an issue with my script showing my second GUI. Both GUIs are meant to replicate a simple MsgBox and prevent users from continuing until they have selected "OK" or something similar.

Note: I use GUIs instead of MsgBoxes simply because I can center the GUI on the active window more easily, which is necessary since my team at work uses multiple monitors/displays.

The first GUI window works perfectly, but when my script attempts to Show the second GUI window, I get a blank window popup that can only be exited if the AHK file is exited.

Until I can get the second one to work, I will resort to just using the first, but having that second window is very helpful for my team at work since we process so many requests (as a support office). Any help is greatly appreciated!

Here is my code as well:

Code: Select all

Gui1:
	Gui 1:New,, Loading...
	Gui 1:+AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow -Caption +Border
	Gui 1:Color, White
	Gui 1:Font, s11, Segoe UI
	Gui 1:Add, Text,, % "Continue after page loads!"
	Gui 1:Add, Text ; spacer
	Gui 1:Add, Button, Default w80 gOK, OK
return

Gui2:
	Gui 2:New,, Professional Counseling
	Gui 2:Default
	Gui 2:+AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow -Caption +Border
	Gui 2:Color, White
	Gui 2:Font, s11, Segoe UI
	Gui 2:Add, Text,, % "If COEX-MA-D, Select 50+ sections only!"
	Gui 2:Add, Text ; spacer
	Gui 2:Add, Button, Default w80 gTYBRO, Thanks Bro!
return

OK:
{
	Gui 1:Cancel
		sleep 50
	If (CourseSub = "COUN")
		gosub, COUN
	else
		gosub, SearchAndSelect
}
return

TYBRO:
{
	Gui 2:Cancel
}
return

-> Why do some lines in my script never execute?

@just me

Thanks for pointing that out! I was not aware I needed to execute these immediately, but after re-reading the Gui section in the Help file it makes sense. I was scouring all over the Gui section for an answer and thought maybe I had something wrong with identifying the Gui windows. It works just fine now that I removed the return from Gui1.
