I thought about it but didn't come up with a ready explanation. Try doing a quick WinHide + WinShow (or some other fast operation) to get the entire window to redraw. |

Thanx Chris ...using your idea I saw that WinHide/WinShow fixed the problems with combobox/pic, but the window flashed (which i didn't like much) after every control add... then from your idea it occurred to me to just hide/show the control and bingo!
(though combobox still isn't clearly visible while moving/resizing)

-I don't exactly know what is the problem with combobox (i'm sure Chris will kill whatever it is at some time), but with the release 1.2 turn-off grid before adding/modifying a combobox and it shouldn't bother you.
| Quote: | | When resizing the groups, it takes part of the image behind it with it so you can't see whatat is behind the group when resizing it. |
-same reason as pic. but that happens only while u give it the upper-left position... after that there's no unruly behaviour. I can fix it right away, but the way is to refresh control with every mouse move... i'll try to find a better way.
| Quote: | | If you resize the images to make them smaller they go back to full size when you run the script. |
-In GUI ideas post i've already mentioned this to Chris and he said that he'll fix that soon.
Thanx for the feedback... let me know if there are other issues ... I'll try to better whatever I can....also its better that Chris gets to know now if something in GUI feature needs ironing out, instead of much later.

I seem to remember that you've to drop the "GUI script" onto the Alpha-Test-AutoHotkey.exe (which contains the necessary code to interprete the new commands/features). So maybe you can use something like this inside an existing script:
Run, AutoHotkey.exe "C:\MyGUIScript.ahk"
TBH could be pure nonsense ...  |

Ultimately, any layout editor written in a scripting language such as AutoHotkey might run up against certain limitations. For example, it might turn out to be difficult or impossible to do multi-select so that a group of controls can all be dragged to a new location. In light of this, crafting a layout editor in a real programming language might someday have its advantages.
I say this not because I expect anyone to write such an tool, but just in case they wanted to do so anyway and didn't want to get discouraged. |

I thought it was my firewall at work, but remoted onto my computer at home and ran into the same problem. But it is working now. Very good stuff. Great work as always Rajat, and to everyone who has made suggestions.
thanks,

Would it be possible to have the option to open a script created by SmartGUI? I made the GUI, exited and then decided I wanted to change some stuff, but had to do it manually (I'm lazy).
If you turn on "Ask Control Label" and create a couple of controls, and then modify any control it's label will be renamed to the last control created. But only when you save it. If you modify multiple controls, any control you modify gets renamed.
thanks,

right now the option available to u is to use my modded GuiAsst. though i've plans to add support for this right into SGUI... but i'm pondering over different ideas which'll help not break any existing function.

is it okay to add support to edit existing gui by the following way, or should i think of something else in case it sounds a bit crude:
if a file named gui2edit.ahk is found in the SmartGUI's folder then it goes into edit mode, otherwise normal mode.
btw if it helps ... i can include option for custom hotkeys in next release.

Relase 1.3
Changes:
-Fixed the bug that caused a modified custom label control to set its label to other controls too. (thanx beardboy)
-Fixed a bug that caused a control to still be created by a default name if on the edit label input box cancel is pressed.
-Improved GUI updation of controls during manipulation. should really help pic control.
-Added 'Test GUI' feature. It'll generate the resultant GUI script and run it, while still keeping SmartGUI open, so that u can see how the resultant GUI will exactly look without finally exiting the program.
-Added 'Custom Hotkeys' feature. hotkey help shows correct custom hotkeys. edit SmartGUI.ini to customize hotkeys.
