Gui Designer

[Alek]

made a little GUI designer in Autoit.

features:

-Grid

-Snapping

-generate on event, the standard GuiGetMsg or just the GUI

-Save/Open

todo:

-Tabs and listview, and maybe treeview (treeview works, you just cant add stuff to it, same for listview)

-Ctrl+z function

-Multiple selection (select more then one control)

-Font Selection

-Prevent user from using the same control name twice.

-change control / GUI Styles

bugs:

-The grid makes it lag, maybe change to a background image instead of graphic.

what has bin done:

-Undo (ctrl+z)

-some other improvments.

-Started work on multiple control selection

-Show/Hide grid

-Show/Hide the dots that indicates if a control is selected

-Cleaned up some of it, its still quite messy

-Changed the function that handles dragging and resizing.

-Removed Sqlite stuff, its now using arrays (simple to save/open form)

-Save / Open Forms

-No longer allows you to use the controls that are on the Form your designing on (comboboxs etc...)

How to:

-Create the GUI and press the GO button.

-It will add the script to the clipboard, and/or write it directly into SciTE

Example output (event based)

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

$Form1          = Guicreate("My Form", 190, 70, -1, -1)
$Button1        = GuiCtrlCreateButton("My Button", 10, 10, 70, 20)
$Button2        = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Oh Noes!", 90, 10, 70, 20)

GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "_GuiEvents")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE, "_GuiEvents")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_RESTORE, "_GuiEvents")

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "_Button1_OnEvent")
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button2, "_Button2_OnEvent")

GuiSetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(10)

            Exit
        Case $GUI_EVENT_MINIMIZE
            
        Case $GUI_EVENT_RESTORE
            
    EndSwitch
EndFunc

Cool Start!! I didn't see any controls to save or apply or anything. It is very simple to use though..

made a little GUI designer in Autoit.

Hi Alek - you might be interested in this CyberSlug's - GuiBuilder

It may have been before your time, and the original version came with every AutoIt install, but is no longer included with it because Vista breaks it. Jon says he would include it with examples if someone is willing to update it for Vista - not having Vista myself, I can't do that yet, BUT YOU MIGHT LIKE TO HAVE A GO!

I still use GuiBuilder in preference to Koda, but then I'm still back at AutoIt v3.2.4.9 or less.

When I get a chance, I'll have a look at what you've done so far. muttley

actually, I used to use that when I was on XP

[TehWhale]

Works Lovely on Vista! Thanks for this program, although for my GUI needs I will probably use Koda. Thanks though, I will use this one for small/fast scripts.

[Alek]

made some updates to this now

hope you like, still some stuff to like.

like Tabs :s

Not a single mention of my AutoIt studio. Look at it for some ideas. Minus the bugs I think it's the best pure autoit GUI designer out there. I just was never able to fix the bugs because of computer availability issues, and when they were resolved, the project was dead.
