This basenote will hold the most recent version of GUIBuilder, originally created by CyberSlug. All constructive feedback welcome.

Extract this to your Scite GUIBuilder directory (ex. "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Scite\GUIBuilder") if you like.

Thanks,

Make sure that you are "running" the correct version of AutoIt.

Even though you downloaded the beta, it still gives you the option of running the stable version. If you are using Scite, go to Tools -> Beta Run. Otherwise, make sure that you are "pointing to" or selecting the right executable for AutoIt ("C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\AutoIt3.exe").

For compiling, make sure you use: "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\beta\Aut2Exe\Aut2Exe.exe"

You are not running the latest version of Au3check and definition files.

Did you update your SciTE4AutoIT3 installation ?

Nice app:

1. Weird issue when resizing group boxes, keeps snapping to a small size when using handles to adjust group box size.

2. Would like option to lock group box & also lock controls with group box.

* Will add more as I find em / think of em.

1. Left, Bottom, and Right sides of the rectangle are the only sides that "snap". The top side doesn't. Is this working correctly for you?

2. What do you mean by "lock"? (GUICtrlSetState @SW_LOCK)?

1. The snapping is working but If I try to resize the group box it instantly resizes to it's smallest form I believe this to be only occuring when controls are over top ( within ) the group control causing issues.

2. By lock I mean lock all controls ( say input box / labels etc ) to a group box or to the position where you want them to remain. I thought this a basic feature.

1. I know what you mean, but I can't reproduce that scenario...it's working fine for me...I'll have to test more.

2. You want to not be able to move the locked controls? Or you want it so that when you move the group box, the controls locked move also??? There's many definitions for lock, try explaining again without using the word lock.

2. Both, the ability to lock the group together and also the ability to lock the group within the parent box wherever you place it.

New GUIBuilder version 9.2!

Looks pretty good so far!

I noticed that you changed the buttons in the preferences window for the elements that are currently changeable (like the combobox, etc) from "Update" and "Return" to "OK", "Apply" and "Cancel". However, the properties window is still modal and thus I cannot select a different control. Hopefully in the future it will be possible to select another control and have the properties window update with the properties of the new selected control (perhaps asking first if you want to apply the changes you made to the previous control).

Cheers,

Angel

Recommendation: upgrate the properties menu option

Example new options menu:

GuiCreate("Modify Properties of [Wadeva]", 243, 322,(@DesktopWidth-243)/2, (@DesktopHeight-322)/2 , $WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW + $WS_VISIBLE + $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS)

$Label_1 = GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Tooltip", 10, 270, 90, 21)

**New GUIBuilder version 9.3**

GUIBuilder_9.3 info:

- Added "Hint" and "ShowHint" functionality

- Added some extended properties for Edit control

- Added some extended properties for Input control

- Modified extended properties functionality (no more right click -> Properties)

- misc updates

I will probably start helping work on KODA with Lookfar and Lazycat...so depending on how that goes...there may not be a need for GUIBuilder. You can still let me know of bugs if you want.
