@BuckMaster

Do you recommend that I separate it into different include files or should i create more code regions?

I would go for multiple include files especially looking at the number of lines of code.

Update v1.0.6 Major script overhaul, I literally started over from scratch only adding parts of code from the old script that were solid. I don’t have a help file made as of now so I am going to ex

Very nice, thank you for sharing with us! JS

VERY impressive indeed. Something like this should replace Koda... Koda has such a windows 98 basic feel to it. This one you have made has a much richer modern look and functionality. Bloody good job

Looking much better now for you to manange it all.

Some more improvements :

Includes should best be put on to of the script and not somewhere in the middle :

#include "FormBuilder_ControlManagement.au3"

#include "FormBuilder_Modes.au3"

#include "FormBuilder_ScriptGeneration.au3"

#include "FormBuilder_FileManagement.au3"

#include "FormBuilder_Misc.au3"

The included file should best mention the keyword #include-once

See help file for more information.

How are you creating the controls?

When creating controls left click and drag automatically sizes the controls, right click creates the control at a standard size

Thank you so much for this, it's gorgeous and really really quick to use.

I did notice that you have opted to reference previous controls using "-1" rather than their handle. This seems to be the preferred way for a lot of people (including Koda) but I like using the actual handle as it seems to make my code clearer and seems like it should be more robust.

$lbl_username = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 24, 17, 86, 21)
GUICtrlSetResizing(-1, $GUI_DOCKALL)

VS

$lbl_username = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Username:", 24, 17, 86, 21)
GUICtrlSetResizing($lbl_username, $GUI_DOCKALL)

Just to pre-empt: I am in no way faulting those who like using the -1 notation, I'm just asking if the alternatives have been considered on merit.

Hi!

I have some suggestions about this program

- The different controls should have default size: For example, if I select a Button, and I click in the form to create a button, I don't want this new button to be very small, I want it to be at a standard, pre-defined size (Just like does Koda)

- Why a space between the first bracket and the first parameter??? Even tidy don't do this! :P

Thanks for reading me!

The source code is available for this, you should probably look at the code and instead of just making request after request, how about doing a little of the work yourself and submit the changes in code to the author? I'm sure he'd appreciate the help and/or the ideas you have put down in some kind of work output from you rather than a list of gripes.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

@BrewManNH:

Thanks for the advice :)

But me for example, when I code something, I prefer requests and suggestions rather than somebody "manipulating" my code. Because I have coding habits and practices that are not compatible with others habits and practices. And additionaly, I know my code better than the others, so I think I'm the best placed to modify or add somthing in my code. So I'm not waiting anybody to "touch" my code! And it's how I behave with others :)

In addition, like said ileandors, there seems to be some non standard includes in the program, so how could I modify it without them!?

Not many people know their code as well as they think they do, otherwise there wouldn't be bugs in nearly everything written. If I have a suggestion for someone else's code, and the code is available to read, I'm going to make the suggestion with a code example. Whether it fits their coding style or not, it's usually fairly simple to take the idea and work with it.

In addition, like said ileandors, there seems to be some non standard includes in the program, so how could I modify it without them!?

Download the includes? That's what I would do. They're all available in this forum for download, so it shouldn't take long at all to find them.

But, if the author doesn't mind the requests, who am I to say otherwise? :D

Wow! That's kind of stunting your growth with the language, if someone re-codes something for me, I don't say "Nope, not my style, I would rather do it a convoluted way thank you." then I will never develop or grow as a coder, in fact how can you learn if you don't take input from others?

I have explained this in previous posts, when creating controls,

Left click is a click and drag operation to auto resize the control

Right click is to create the control at a standardized size

As for the spaces, its something I always do, i dont know why. ;)

#include <GUIScrollbars_Ex.au3>

#Include <IconChooser.au3>

#include <Resources.au3>

#include <RESH.au3>

Are not standard includes so maybe you should include them in the zip

The source script i provide is not intended to be executed, its main purpose is learning,

I dont provide all of the resource files, and all of the non-standard includes can be easily found searching the forums.
