As a side result of the OOP GUI library I'm writing I created a converter to create the code generated by the Visual Studio C# window designer into AHK code that is usable with the OOP GUI library. This makes it very comfortable to create windows using said designer. No more guessing positions and sizes and aligning controls manually on a pixel scale

It won't convert every possible value but most are covered. Things like list items aren't parsed. If anyone wants to parse those, feel free to change the script and post it here.

The converter makes use of the OOP GUI library itself and the Regex class posted by Frankie. I included the Regex class for convenience, the OOP GUI library is not included because I expect it will change much in the future. You'll need to download it from the other thread.

And two images as visualization:

Updated the converter to fit the latest changes in CGUI and added some new features, like supporting controls inside of tabs and groupboxes.

The screenshots are impressive. The one thing I noticed (from the screenshots) is that one button lost its 'default' status.

I will be using this in the future, thanks!

Here's another comparison (from an older project I wrote in C#):

Thank you. I will try and play with this sometime today

It looks like the Regex.ahk file was written for an outdated version of AHK_L. Simply remove the "var" at the specific (and other) line(s).
I'll fix it ASAP.
