After EmguCV (OpenCV wrapper) UDF , I wanted to improve the concept of generating autoit udf bindings from c/c++ source files. GTK was a project that get my attention. That means: It is a heavy UDF with more that 8900 functions since they were generated from the gtk source files Complex gtk applications can be done with the UDF Functions keep the same name as in the source files prefixed with an underscore. The project is available here Prerequisites Download and extract gtk-autoit-bindings-v1.0.0-rc.0.7z into a folder Download and extract gtk-windows-4.3.2.7z into a folder Examples The classic Hello World #Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** #AutoIt3Wrapper_UseX64=y #EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI **** Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1) #Region ;

For that reason, I recommend to create a dll that export functions that do the loops. autoit-addon is a dll project example.

GTK+ Framework | Widgets I'm doing experiment to use GTK+ Widgets on AutoIt3 and seems it sucessfull. Its cause some user on AutoIt3 forum requesting it. Well there are I'm using V2 of GTK+ which you can get binary file at http://www.gtk.org x32 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win32/gtk+/2.24/gtk+-bundle_2.24.10-20120208_win32.zip x64 http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries/win64/gtk+/2.22/gtk+-bundle_2.22.1-20101229_win64.zip Don't get too happy. Because this far from complete. As for V3. Maybe I will release if V2 have been completed. Hah, its anonnying when get failed on implementing some function! So as far my work only go to: gtk2.zip (link fixed) or gtk2.zip There sample file how to use it. Oh yeah copy AutoIt3 Script to 'bin' folder of package you download from gtk.org If you interesting to join this project, please let me know. PM or E-Mail me. Thanks Screenshots .. .. ..
