NOTE: This is in a very basic stage but you can get an idea of how it works.

I know that KODA is a part of Scite and is a solid form designer but I wanted to try working on creating something similar in autoit. I love working with command line consoles so most of the work I wanted to implement through input commands. However, once controls are created, you can manipulate them and move them with the mouse.

Eventually, I'll add a build button and it will build the code for the GUI you've designed.

Download the autoit logo graphic

As a test platform, here's what you can do:

CODE
Type "create" and follow the prompts to create your initial GUI.

After the GUI is created, type "button" to create a generic button.

Left click on the control with your mouse and move it.

Left click again to place it.

Do this as often as you like.

Type "button" again and create another button. Create as many buttons as you like.

To end the GUI mode, just press the "END" key. That will terminate it. Or, rightclick on the tray icon.

The purpose of releasing this early on is to fix any issues and to receive feedback on design and implementation. I'm also hoping that somewhere in the code as I progress, someone else can utilize or learn something.

Thanks.

NOTE: This is in a very basic stage but you can get an idea of how it works.

I know that KODA is a part of Scite and is a solid form designer but I wanted to try working on creating something similar in autoit. I love working with command line consoles so most of the work I wanted to implement through input commands. However, once controls are created, you can manipulate them and move them with the mouse.

Eventually, I'll add a build button and it will build the code for the GUI you've designed.

As a test platform, here's what you can do:

CODE
Type "create" and follow the prompts to create your initial GUI.

After the GUI is created, type "button" to create a generic button.

Left click on the control with your mouse and move it.

Left click again to place it.

Do this as often as you like.

Type "button" again and create another button. Create as many buttons as you like.

To end the GUI mode, just press the "END" key. That will terminate it. Or, rightclick on the tray icon.

The purpose of releasing this early on is to fix any issues and to receive feedback on design and implementation. I'm also hoping that somewhere in the code as I progress, someone else can utilize or learn something.

Thanks.

This line at the end of the GuiCreat Case looks wrong.

ControlFocus ("","",$gParent)

You have made a hole in the main gui I suppose so that you can see the new window. This doesn't work very well. If you switch to another app then back to your designer the previous app is behind the hole not the new window. I think it would be better to make the new GUI a child window.

You need to remove the Enter key as a HotKey when the user switches to another app or the other apps stop working.

Moving the button is unreliable, though I haven't tried to find out why. I would prefer a drag operation rather than a click and move, click and stop. Also, it needs a size-drag feature, but I know it's early days yet.

You are very brave to start this project. I wish you luck and fun.

Serial port communications UDF Includes functions for binary transmission and reception.printing UDF Useful for graphs, forms, labels, reports etc.Add User Call Tips to SciTE for functions in UDFs not included with AutoIt and for your own scripts.Functions with parameters in OnEvent mode and for Hot Keys One function replaces GuiSetOnEvent, GuiCtrlSetOnEvent and HotKeySet.UDF IsConnected2 for notification of status of connected state of many urls or IPs, without slowing the script.

Thanks for the input Martin!

I'll work on it. :)

As there is only one control at the moment in the real parent GUI, the controlfocus will default to the command line using that command.
