For quite some time now, I have had it in mind to redo and upgrade Cyberslug's GuiBuilder (also called AutoBuilder). Well, that time is finally here. Why you ask? {1} I have always preferred its no nonsense simplicity that allows you to get down and dirty with coding quickly, not hampered by other elements taking up screen space, etc. {2} It is the main reason I am still coding with AutoIt v3.3.0.0 ... the last supported version by GuiBuilder. Haven't others made attempts at updating GuiBuilder? And why not help them? {3} Yes they have. The latest probably being GuiBuilderNxt by jaberwacky, who I did assist to a minor degree. {4] While I have great respect for the work he did, and that done by others, they were not really working on the type of update I wanted. I just wanted an update, with very few extra bells & whistles. {5] I also want a version that I can maintain, that is written in a structure I understand more easily than it currently is. In short, I want it written in the style I code in. To do that, it is necessary that I set aside time, to dissect the last version of GuiBuilder (which was the one I updated to support AutoIt v3.3.0.0), so that I can more fully understand what is going on. In the past, my updates, have just been simplistic tweaks to existing code, without understanding anymore than I had to. This time, it will be entirely different. {6} I don't work well with the way other people code, and it will be enough of a struggle deciphering things as it is. But seriously, why not just use one of the existing GUI creators? {7} I am well aware of all those, but none have the simplicity and directness I want. Apart from basic GUI elements, I manually code everything or copy & paste from prolific examples I have built up over the years. I like to keep things simple, and that extends to less clutter on the desktop working environment ... less to look at. Is this project a collaborative one? {8} NO, not at this stage. It may become that, to some degree, if I get stumped by something. After I have finished the project though, it will be open to others to extend, so at that point it could become collaborative under a slightly different name ... remembering all the points I mentioned previously for my version - maintenance etc. Finally. {9} GuiBuilder or AutoBuilder as it was called at one point, was the very first GUI creator for AutoIt, which you can read about here. I would like to do justice to it and Cyberslug, the original creator, for it was a very important part of AutoIt when it first came out, and was for a very long time, part of the AutoIt install, even for a while after Koda was first included. When it was eventually superseded, I well remember Jon asking if anyone was willing to update it, so that it could be kept as part of the AutoIt install, but as an example only. Some time later, I tweaked it, so that it would work with AutoIt v3.3.0.0, but I didn't revamp the code, which was pretty much all over the shop, so ultimately it wasn't suitable as an example. So here's hoping. Especially as life has a habit of intruding and sending things awry. Wish me luck! P.S. It is my intention to report here from time to time, on how things are going .... maybe even provide some code, discuss difficulties, plans, methods, etc. Source.au3 (last version, Prototype 0.9, supports AutoIt v3.3.0.0 and Win XP) (no resources provided yet, just for reference) Screenshot of v0.9
