This is an advanced and feature rich GUI form creation tool. It supports custom controls and saving/loading projects.
It can also make copy of windows from your existing GUI scripts to help you convert them to builder project files.

There is still bug with GRID and controls that get resized when you click them.

[Rajat]

and the stealer is broken for some controls in latest release. i need to fix it. the problem is probably in CreateControl function.

Sorry, I hope I didn't mess it up too much. :|

[toralf]

Am I missing something here?

No, you don't. They are currently not available for "final script". I guess, import could work.

[majkinetor]

Custom controls will be troughly supported only when dynamic function calls are supported by AHK as of OnMessage problem.

Other then that my plan is export to handle this, to add appropriate includes in exported script, perhaps even pack dlls in scripts (as they are small)

v0.6.2
- Added res\Custom\SpreadSheet.png & dll\SprSht.dll & wrapper\SpreadSheet.ahk
- Removed HLink_OnNotify function and necessery changes in HLink.ahk
- Added inc\Properties.ahk
- Added Selector_ShowProperties(); changed Selector_Set2Ctrl to call ShowProperties; changed LilBuilder() to add properties

I didn't upload this to the master place but on my own ahk.net account as toralf said he doesn't want to think about PGUI for now. However, I sense that PGUI should be basic settings interface, so I added it to here along with SS custom control to get a feeling.

as toralf said he doesn't want to think about PGUI for now

That doesn't mean you can't. Only because I concentrate on other parts, doesn't mean I don't care or doesn't want it. Thanks for the release.

[majkinetor]

Well, I just wanted to show you how kewl it is and how fast it can be added. Dicts will have to store Types also ( I hardcoded them all to be Text now) or we can use some other way to connect properties with types.

I planed this feature for PGUI: GlobalTypes
This will speed some things alot.

For instance, it is definite that we will have some things repeated for each control (the same list of colors for instance). I will update PGUI property definitions so it supports something like:

[Property]
Name=Color
Type=TColor

Before that you set TColor to be ComboBox with all system colors. This will speed up things as this combo is repeated between selections but created only once.

We can have number of global types, like TBoolean, TAligment etc...
This offer much better user experience, content control, etc...

[toralf]

I'm nearly done with merging. :)

[majkinetor]

Superb.
The main thing here is to get standard mechanism of Property setting/getting (i.e. what happens in Properties events transmited via PTY_EVENT)
I already proposed to generate function Control_Property(value) that will be used to set values and Control_Property_Editor() to call editor on button click or hyperlink click. We will ahve to use soubrotines until dyn calls are implemented (Chris said he will look into this to help us, in PM) and we can transmit argument via some global var (the way I did with MMenu or PGUI).

Next thing I will probably do is to make MultiDock so we can dock all windows near main gui.

fixed, thanks.

Do you have the latest AHK version installed?

-On LilBuilder_ExportFromSVN.ahk there is a error on line #027
RunWait,%Exe_SVN% export %Repro_URL% %Temp_Path% --force,%Temp_Path%

This will not work, if you do not have SVN installed. This is more or less a script that eases my release handling. This has nothing to do with the LilBuilder.
