AbstractSpoon is a (or rather the best IMHO) Todolist manager (<!-- m -->http://www.codeproje... ... list2.aspx<!-- m -->)

This script provides a GUI to enter some of the field of a new task. Still incomplete, and I need to improve a few things - but wish to share it for testing.

Uses ComboX.ahk (from <!-- m -->http://www.autohotke...pic.php?t=22390<!-- m -->, included in script)

Tested with AHK_L v1.1.03.00

v0.1
Added version number
Saves Category and allocated to correctly
Include ComboX directly
v0.2
Added a few items to Todo, after TCP_JM beta test
ComboBox width now pixel aligned
Made Dropdown arrow bigger
Added a bunc of fields
Made allowance for multiple columns - still incomplete though
Some options to toggle visibility of fields

Fixable Issues
Not recommended for use with shared tasklists
It will break the key shortcuts ^N ^!N ^+N - and replaces it with the new task creation GUI (only ^N at the moment - but give it time, will add some customisation options)
Categories (AllocatedTo, Category etc) cannot contain a pipe ( | ).
Only works with the current active .tdl file - but can be very easily be changed to work with any .tdl file - even closed files or on computers where no AHK is installed
Fix double fileread (low priority - can become slow with large files/slow drives)

Fixable with an insane amount of effort/knowledge beyond my abilities
Does not recognise default values - though for colours and the like, when left blank it is automatically corrected by TDL
Cannot handle RichText Comments or encrypted files

Not fixable (That I know of)
You lose your undo history (since tasklist is manipulated outside TDL - and a reload is forced)


Requirements
Requires AHK_L.
Although it is not a requirement, it is recommended to run with TDL v6.3.7 or above - as the frequent reloading of tasklists may cause increased memory usage (fixed in 6.3.7)
If the preference "If a tasklist's timestamp changes" is not set to "Reload it without asking me" a dialog box might flicker on screen before being dismissed.
It is recommended to change the preference "If a tasklist's timestamp changes" to "Reload it without asking me" to prevent the flicker of the reload request dialog

If you are desperate to share your script with others then some more effort is required..

-Post screenshot
-Include required functions and not just link them

And by the way.. its throwing errors.

Include functions - Done
Screenshot - On my todolist
Throwing errors - can you elaborate? When (when run, or when you attempt to create a new task). Do you receive an error message? What version of ToDoList do you have? What version of AHK_L are you using?

I think that "Guest" has an attitude problem - no need to be so nasty using language like "If you are desperate".
A screenshot is often nice but quite a lot of people dont bother
