AutoHotkey Community

I have been working on a Script Writer for a while now and I wanted to make a plugin for it that would give the user a development environment for making static GUI's. I know that Rajat has an amazing GUI creator but I was looking to make something a bit more simplistic. I have tested it as much as I can for bugs but if you can find some in it please message me. Any and all feedback is welcome.

Un-compiled version requires Autohotkey_L. Please download the compiled version if you are using any other versions.

Features:

• Added duplicate control. Thank you shajul for your input.
• Added remove control.
• Added rectangular selection for selecting multiple controls.
• Added space evenly with auto alignment.
• Drag and select multiple controls and move, align, or space them evenly
• Added move, align, and space into one function.
• Multiple controls window has a checkbox for alignment.
• When you create a control on a tab it will remember which tab the control is on.
• Move multiple controls and retian there spacing.
• Support for all types of controls (let me know if I have forgotten something)
• Window numbering. Easily change the gui number when saving the script.
• Change the font of individual controls
• Easily edit control options
• G-Labels added to controls are automatically added to your scripts
• Undo
• Resize and move multiple selected controls all at once
• Use Shift and Control to add and change selections

If you want to download the files easily just right click and select "save as" that way you do not have to copy and paste the code.

Thank you for taking the time to try out my script.

This script was developed using Script Writer

Simple-- Useful;
Could be expanded some without losing simplicity.

nice, but I suggest a grid background for easier alignment

I am getting a duplicate function definition error. rcm(x="") is defined on lines 109, and 487.

Yea....sorry about that. Somehow I got some of the code twice.

I have it working now. Preliminary results are looking good. Thanks for the script.

You are welcome Morpheus. I have a link at the top of the post where I will be publishing updates. Not all of them will make it to the forum right away so check there.

Very nice, Thanks.

You are welcome sjkeegs. I hope you get some use out of it. I did add a few more options and also Text controls...I can not believe I forgot them.

hummm,

I just tried it and got a blank parameter error at line 255. I put "" in to see if that would let it load and got a too many parameters error at line 417.

Also, your url for the file has a redundancy at the beginning.

Relayer: same.
solution: use AHKL.

Thank you Relayer for reporting that to me. I went through the code and found that I was using features that AHK Basic does not use. Thank you to tidbit as well for helping out. I have fixed the script and it should now work with basic as well. The sad thing is that code wise I was doing an extra step that was not necessary.

I like it feels a lot smoother then smartgui.

My suggestions:
1. have the align tools work on reverse. If you right-click on a control and then click the align buttons, it should align that control to the next control clicked.

2. edit the text/headers/labels/whatever of a control. Not sure if you can currently do it, like adding extra headers to a lv or change the text in a text control.
-2a. duplicate control seemed to screw up the headers in the duplicated lv control. That was also the only control I test that on, might screw up other controls.

3. if you could somehow implement a grid, that'd be pretty handy


Here's a screenshot of my (quite old) unfinished gui creator. Maybe it'll give you some ideas. It still needs a lot of work. No grid, snapping, aligning, saving, loading and pretty flickery.. But it does have control edge detection, do you can resize the control when your mouse is at the edge of a control.
