Well basically the MainWindow has a button to create a results window and by design I want it to be able to create more than one window with results (for camparison etc). The new results window is created like this - $ResultsWindow = new GUI::Window( -title => "Results", -left => 400, -top => 100, -width => 185, -height => 360, -style => WS_MINIMIZEBOX | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU , -name => "ResultsWin", ); I then add a text area and a 'Close' button to this window. The close button is added like this - $ResultsWindow->AddButton( -name => "Close", -text => "Close", -left => 5, -top => 5, -tip => "Click here to close the results view", -cancel => 1, ); The subroutine for the click event looks like this - sub Close_Click { $ResultsWindow->Hide(); } The reason I use hide if because I dont know of a better way of getting rid of Windows?! Clicking the close button then closes the last window created. Help?

The close button works fine if there is only one child window but fails to work if there are more than one. I understand why this is happening but cannot think of a good way around it! Anyone have any ideas or can point out the obvious?

Does anyone know of any way to do this? Cheers, Darin -------------------------------------------- Darin Cruickshanks Labs Manager, Computing Service University of Essex [EMAIL PROTECTED] 01206 873585
