TheSaint Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) I've been meaning to upload this for some time, and as I still use it all the time (by preference), I thought others might also still like its simplicity. GuiBuilder.au3Previous Downloads: 194Guibuild.icoSee Post #9 below, for information & a link to a newer version compatible with later AutoIt versions (above version download is not compatible with AutoIt v3.2.12.0 etc).CHANGES by TheSaint - 17th December 2006:This file was originally Prototype 0.5, and at some point CyberSlug had changed it to 0.6 ... the only main difference I could find, was that all the "handle=" & $main, etc had been changed to $main, etc (the '"handle=" & ' element being completely removed).I have now implemented that change in this file, plus re-worked several other elements. Most notably, the GUI gets it's name from the title in SciTe (if you're running it), it also gets the save path from that name. There was one other change I found in Prototype 0.6, that reflected newer GUI changes -If Not IsDeclared('WS_CLIPSIBLINGS') Then Global $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS = 0x04000000 had been removed, and $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS had been changed to the following - BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS), which I find to be an uncommon use, so I added my most commonly preferred version -$WS_OVERLAPPED + $WS_CAPTION + $WS_SYSMENU + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS + $WS_MINIMIZEBOX.Due to my changes I have now called the program - Prototype 0.7. I have also added an 'About' dialog & 'Info' dialog menu items, and finally increased the height of the 'Choose Control Type' gui, which had been previously overlooked by both Roy and myself, which had meant that the bottom row of buttons was only partially displayed.NOTES:One might wonder at my bothering to do all this, with the advent of KODA. Well I both like and dislike elements of KODA, and find the simplicity of AutoBuilder (with the later changes) much more pleasing at times. In particular, I dislike the naming and size ranges available in KODA, which means I'm forever renaming and changing them to what I want. In particular I like the buttons and inputs, etc to start off at 20 high, and have an underslash between control names and numbers i.e. $checkbox_1 not $checkbox1. I also prefer to have more screen to play with.CHANGES by Roy - 20 Jun 2005:added save & load gui defs to ini files with file ext .agd (AutoIt Gui Definition) see _SaveGuiDefinition & _LoadGuiDefinition (very beta code)Commented Beep functionNote: Compile with 3.1.1.0TO USE IT COMPILE IN THE SAME DIRECTORY OF GUIBUILDER (NEEDS PICS X ICON & PIC)CHANGES by TheSaint - 5 July 2005:Added the ability to re-load the (*.agd) settings/template file, from the command-line (you can now use - Open With or SendTo, or simply associate that file type with the Guibuilder program.

TheSaint Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Hi eltorro'Crashes every time the active window changes focus.Never happened to me, and I use it nearly every day (long time) from within SCite - maybe it's related to the version of AutoIt you are running. That part of the code is still Cyberslug's original, but I'll look into it when I get time. Thanks for the report! Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!

I have made several frontends for other people's programs, but honestly there are many better programmers here than me (and maybe someone who speaks or writes your native tongue as well).(3) Really you should only be making comments about this post here, or similarities with one of your own projects, etc. Soliciting help for something that is not related, can be seen as spamming!

neo291 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Guess It need to be upgraded so that it can run with newer version of autoit. I'm not a programmer. Just a Power User. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) Guess It need to be upgraded so that it can run with newer version of autoit.That is correct. The original is no longer included with AutoIt for that reason. Jon said he would include it again as an example, if someone was willing to update it for compatability with Vista (or somesuch ... mentioned in one of the posts somewhere). I don't have Vista or easy access to it.I am however thinking of rewriting GUIBuilder so that it is more compatible with my programming style, so that I can add new features whenever I want. I'm a bit of an old fuddy duddy, in that I still prefer it over Koda, and still prefer using AutoIt v3.2.4.9 at the moment, with which GUIBuilder still works fine.I had another go with Koda only a few weeks ago, and both that and a fairly recent version of AutoIt gave me so many new things to figure out, that I just had to say 'another day' ... I never have enough time it seems. Koda still doesn't do things right by my mind ... but then, I've been spoiled by the simplicity and logic of GUIBuilder. It's not very powerful (yet), but what it does it does right ... at least for me. Edited December 15, 2008 by TheSaint Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!

TheSaint Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) GuiBuilder has now been updated to v0.8. It now only supports the latest versions of AutoIt (i.e. v3.2.12.0 -->), inline with the change to #Include constant declarations.If you need an older version for an older version of AutoIt, it is still available at Post #2 above.The new v0.8 can be downloaded from here.More InformationThis program is now Prototype 0.8, and is hopefully compatible with AutoIt versions 3.2.12.0 -> 3.3.0.0. I've also added some minor improvements, fixes, etc. This is just a fairly quick update to make the program useable with the newer GUI includes scenario, with no effort to add any new or missing features (they may come later). I've done this update for those (like me) who like to create their GUI's simply and quickly, etc. This is not mean't to be all things for all scripters, so if you want that, then use KODA instead. This is my effort to prevent this once ground-breaking program from slipping into obscurity. I'm forever grateful to CyberSlug for providing the original, and to Roy for his later improvements.This is made available for those who have fond memories of the original, and for those newbies who may be interested, to check out the only way we could build an AutoIt GUI visually originally - before the advent of KODA and a few others.EnjoyP.S. If any enterprising scripter out there, wants to use this as a basis for implementing the missing or new features, then they are quite welcome to. Source is included in the package.

TheSaint Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) If you want to get GUIBuilder to work with SciTE, then follow these instructions.1. Start SciTE (full install, not the cutback version supplied with AutoIt).2. Select au3.properties from the Options menu.3. Scroll down to about line 148 (usually).4. Note that while sections # 10 Giuseppe's CodeWizard program and # 12 lookfar's Koda FormDesigner exist, there is usually no # 11.5. Insert the following commands between # 10 & # 12 -# 11 CyberSlug's AutoIT Gui Builder programcommand.11.$(file.patterns.au3)="$(SciteDefaultHome)\GuiBuilder\GuiBuilder.exe" /StdOutcommand.subsystem.11.$(file.patterns.au3)=1command.name.11.$(file.patterns.au3)=GuiBuildercommand.shortcut.11.$(file.patterns.au3)=Alt+Gcommand.save.before.11.$(file.patterns.au3)=2command.replace.selection.11.$(file.patterns.au3)=1command.quiet.11.$(file.patterns.au3)=16. Click Save.7. If you've installed my Toolbar For Any program, you can assign a button to start GUIBuilder (see examples provided, but basically you are assigning '!g' to a Sendkey option - see Alt+G above).N.B. If # 11 does exist, then find a number that doesn't, and then replace every number '11' in the above command lines with that number.

yehia Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 (edited) after some testing i found ...

When no winhandle it will be successful if the GUI Windows is active." Edit2 : ok easy way to fix it is to replace $cursorInfo = GuiGetCursorInfo() at line 643 with Do $cursorInfo = GuiGetCursorInfo() Until WinActive("AutoBuilder - ") but u will get other errors and i wont try to fix more Edited February 9, 2009 by yehia My Scripts:IE New UDFsElastic images moving under mouse (with a happy valentine's example)_FileRemoveLine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realize the update did not include the updated source, not to worry.No worries. However, the source is an updated version - it just needs to be compiled with the earlier version I mentioned ... once compiled it does work with latest AutoIt.GuiBuilder.exe is the compiled version of the supplied script.I hope that makes sense to everyone. Anyone who wants to make the running of the script itself compatible, is welcome to. P.S. If you have the earlier version of AutoIt that I specified, then you can even decompile GuiBuilder.exe to see that it is indeed perfectly safe. I can understand people here not wanting to run an executable from a newbie, but I've been around for awhile, and I'm sure others would have complained by now if any of my files weren't safe.
