This is the list of recently made controls that are ready to use in your GUIs by simply including the modules in your script (or doing something similarly easy). I provided only controls that are encapsulated well. Those that require user intervention, badly or not document, obviously buggy etc.. are not included. I will add new controls to this list as they are created.

Custom controls

What do you think about adding the Micha's New controls on GUI windows (Buttons, Statics, HMTL, RTF...) to your list .
As the most of them are adaptation of CodeProject controls, they are note "pure" AHK ones, but they are very interesting. The RTF control, for example, is well done.

[majkinetor]

The DLL is bigger then AHK itself. It also depends on other dlls. Wrappers don't exist. (Users need to handle DllCalls). There is one wrapper for grid, but it is not documented.

The RichEdit will probably be created soon (by corrupt) without requirement for DLL.
Also, most of the controls are already available via much smaller dlls. For instance, RaGrid is only 20KB.

Second thing is that if you use one control, U must include them all....

All in all, doesn't go with goals set above:

[PhiLho]

Good idea to list them!
It reminded me that I had to update also the AVI control, which I just done: it is now consistent with AniGif and IPAddress.
Find it at Add a resourced AVI to your AHK Gui
It is a bit hidden in a long topic, but I am unsure of the necessity of a new topic.

[majkinetor]

Ok, I added it. I think you should create new thread though.

I hoped that I can motivate authors to improve their wrappers.

Since this topic is a great resource, I've made it sticky. Thanks for putting it together.

I think that Titan's Captcha Control should be added on the list, all the code needs is maybe a few more comments telling the person using it what the parameters do in detail.

This list seems to be real 3d party controls with wrappers for the dll calls. My captcha uses an array of Text controls for an abstraction layer, bots can quickly decipher it if they're programmed correctly. It would be useful to have a captcha control, if not with an external dll then perhaps using GDI. I'll study some PHP scripts and will try to come up with something.

Not many uses; it's often considered a nuisance. But there can be times when you want to prevent bots running your apps, like with macros or data collection forms.

While I don't really want to take this thread more off topic, some people at Microsoft came up with a different method then the standard captcha.

The test is to have the user say which picture has a cat or a dog in it. It is fairly simple for a human, but would be much harder for a computer to recognize what the subject of the image is.

It'll need to be "Of these pictures, which ones are cats?" and at least 4 pictures because only having one right answer and two pictures gives the bot a 1 in 2 shot at guessing right.
