Is Rajat on a long vacation?

Hi,

I just downloaded and installed the SmartGUI Creator for the first time. The GUI Helper opens under the taskbar, which is on the left side of my desktop instead of at the buttom.

I saw this bug in a few other programs, shouldn't be too hard to fix.

Thanks!

Hello! I recently dabbled into Auto Hot Key and found this amzing GUI thanks to Rajat.

Brief background, as a DirecTV customer service rep I use alot of programs such as, scheduling service calls, equiptment ordering, changing customers account information, ordering pay perviews, making notations on the account... I can't really get into alot of detail obviously for policy reasons... but I want to tell you the GUI and has amazingly decreased my AHT ( Average Handle time of Calls) and my ACW (After Call work) thanks to the speed of using the GUI/AHK combo...

THANKS YOU!!! Keep up the good work.. i'm on any updates right away as I check this site daily

Is there a way to open an existing file and edit the GUI, then save it? It seems like this isnt possible, since when I choose to save, it only saves the GUI info and overwrites everything else.


ALSO, is it possible to change font and font sizes with SmartGUI ?

Unfortunately, untill Rajat makes a complete AHK IDE we will have to stick with copying and pasting the code back into files that we reopen with SmartGui. I suppose that it might be possible to skip over those lines and save them again later... but again were getting into make a full-fledge AHK IDE if we go into that territory...

as for the font size... not that i know of

it is possible to change font in smart gui

Please explain...

rajat is back...

If the default language in a system is Russian, then when you launch SmartGUI.exe, it displays the "D" is not a valid key name within a hotkey label. message and quits.

Chris, you recently did some language fixes to ahk... do you think that would fix this problem?

In this case, not directly. However, in v1.0.42 the option UseErrorLevel was added to the Hotkey command. You could replace some of your double-colon hotkeys with dynamic ones so that failure is tolerated.

Another recent feature that might help SmartGUI is context-senstive hotkeys (via #IfWinActive). For example, I think you use some LButton and/or RButton hotkeys, which might have fewer side-effects if limited to only SmartGUI rather than the entire system. Come to think of it, GuiContextMenu might be an even better choice (for the right mouse button), but maybe you already tried that and found it too limiting. OnMessage() also allows detection of mouse clicks inside a GUI window (there's an example of this on its page).

Using these features, perhaps there is some way to make the main version of SmartGUI work on Windows 9x (though I realize the percentage of Win9x users is dwindling, so you might deem the effort not worth it).

oh yes... i read about the active-window based hotkeys and OnMessage... sounds like a good idea!

though Win9x support isn't on my priority list (I've not even recd any requests for that since a very long time), the above changes should help in making the functionality cleaner.
Thanks

Hey, rajat! great program idea! Must have been hard coding it purely in ahk!

Awsome job, although i did run into a few bugs- when I tried to create a slider it created fine, but when testing the GUI i got an error message and the slider didn't appear. I also tried the GUI Stealer option, and it only took the code of one of the tabs in the window, it still listed all 4 of the tabs but the other 3 were blank- Im assuming if I wouldve used the GUI Stealer on the next tab and so on it would have given me more tab windows, or given me an error message.

Great job though
