C++ GUI Question

[=sinister=]

Ok, I know like .01% of C++. So I have a really stupid question =P.

Here is the script for a GUI:

AUT_RESULT AutoIt_Script::F_GUICreate(VectorVariant &vParams, Variant &vResult)
{
    uint    iNumParams = vParams.size();

    int     nStyle      = -1;
    int     nExStyle    = -1;
    int     nW          = -1;
    int     nH          = -1;
    int     nX          = -1;
    int     nY          = -1;
    HWND hParent        = NULL;

    if (iNumParams > 7) hParent = vParams[7].hWnd();
    if (iNumParams > 6) nExStyle = vParams[6].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 5) nStyle = vParams[5].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 4) nY = vParams[4].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 3) nX = vParams[3].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 2) nH = vParams[2].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 1) nW = vParams[1].nValue();

    HWND hWnd= g_oGUI.CreateGUI(vParams[0].szValue(), nX, nY,nW, nH, nStyle, nExStyle, hParent);

    if (hWnd == NULL)
    {
        SetFuncErrorCode(1);
        vResult = (HWND)NULL;                   // window can not be created
    }
    else
        vResult = hWnd;

    return AUT_OK;

} // GUICreate()

So is this a function in C++? And if it is, then would this be to create a GUI?:

uint    iNumParams = vParams.size();

    int     nStyle      = -1;
    int     nExStyle    = -1;
    int     nW          = -1;
    int     nH          = -1;
    int     nX          = -1;
    int     nY          = -1;
    HWND hParent        = NULL;

    if (iNumParams > 7) hParent = vParams[7].hWnd();
    if (iNumParams > 6) nExStyle = vParams[6].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 5) nStyle = vParams[5].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 4) nY = vParams[4].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 3) nX = vParams[3].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 2) nH = vParams[2].nValue();
    if (iNumParams > 1) nW = vParams[1].nValue();

    HWND hWnd= g_oGUI.CreateGUI(vParams[0].szValue(), nX, nY,nW, nH, nStyle, nExStyle, hParent);

    if (hWnd == NULL)
    {
        SetFuncErrorCode(1);
        vResult = (HWND)NULL;                   // window can not be created
    }
    else
        vResult = hWnd;

    return AUT_OK;

If someone could explain this to me, it would be very appreciated, thanks.

This looks like Autoit source code (in C++) and apparently its GUI closed part of sources

[=sinister=]

Yes it is Autoit Source code, and what do you mean by its GUI closed part of sources?

Look here

The public version of the source code will be similar to the private/binary version but with some functionality removed. The source code is intended for those who wish to learn how AutoIt works and to contribute to its development. Please read the license that accompanies the source for more details and feel free to PM me or any member of the dev team with any questions.

all GUI section is not in public sources.

oh ok, shall I remove it then?

I'm not developer so I don't know.

Nope, what he has is in the distributed source code and it is not used to create a GUI, it is used to interpret the GUICreate() function in a script. The GUI is actually created by using the g_oGUI object which represents a library that is not present in the distribution of the AutoIt source code. Using autoit source code to create a GUI is pointless and a waste of time.

You are better off creating your own GUI in c++.
