Re: gui message problems

damien,

This is not hard to make layout of control in GUI, I think. 
I make it manually by the following empirical "method"

1. Height of control is about 30 pixels.
2. Width of control is the length of textual content. So for example 
to make label "This is an example" I would set width - 250 or 300 
pixels.
3. Left margin - 10 pixels
4. Y coordinate - Y coordinate of control above + maybe 10 pixels.

Thus we can make layout ie of two controls:

1. Label "This is an example":

10, 10, 250, 30

These give us:
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("What Note Is This?", 10, 10, 250, 30)
 
2. Radio "Music Machine":

Left margin - 10
Y coordinate = 10 (previous Y) + 30 = 40
Width - 200
Height - 30

So we will get:
10, 40, 200, 30
These give us:
$Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Music Machine", 10, 40, 200, 30)

2. Radio "My Music":

Left margin - 10
Y coordinate = 40 (previous Y) + 30 = 70
Width - 200
Height - 30

So we will get:
10, 40, 200, 30
These give us:
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("My Music", 10, 70, 200, 30)

The second radio is the same as previous apart from it's Y position.

And so on...

I should add about GUI window. Width of window should be greater 
than longest control + it's left margin. We have here Label - "What 
Note Is This?". Length - 250 pixels. So I would create GUI with 
width 270 = Length + 20 (two left margins of longest control) and 
for example with 400 pixels in Height

I should insert builded GUI constants by 
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Thus we will have the following:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$hWnd = GUICreate ("Easy GUI", 270, 400)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("What Note Is This?", 10, 10, 100, 30)
$Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Music Machine", 10, 40, 200, 30)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("My Music", 10, 70, 200, 30)

The last thing which we need is to add magic "command" to show this 
GUI and main loop to get messages from Windows System:

GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

Thus we have written this Easy GUI.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$hWnd = GUICreate ("Easy GUI", 270, 400)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("What Note Is This?", 10, 10, 100, 30)
$Radio1 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("Music Machine", 10, 40, 200, 30)
$Radio2 = GUICtrlCreateRadio("My Music", 10, 70, 200, 30)

GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend

Best wishes from Russia,
Valery

which is very similar to what you just did. i can't understand why 
it's stating that there's no wend statement when there is.
