After working with AutoHotkey for a while, I've found that many of the scripts and functions I develop have at least one custom GUI. By "custom", I mean using the GUI command to create a custom window.
Anywho... Before I post my next GUI-related function, I created this poll to get an idea of how often custom GUIs are created in the the average everyday script. Your comments are welcome! |

As far as I can recall, only one of my published scripts has a typical gui. The rest of my scripts are generally little scriptletts to perform otherwise tedious or inconvenient things.
Perhaps it's ironic that my current project is a circular menu (I'm trying to hammer out the conventions for sub-menus and baked data)

All of my scripts are hotkey based or do something when the script starts then close up. I find that GUIs are unnecessary for personal use applications, so better console/terminal support for command line features would be a great bonus.

I somewhat agree with Oberon .. But I need to mention that "I Love AutoHotkey" for its GUI capabilities..
I voted "Below Average"

Thanks to everyone who voted. The results are a bit surprising but that is one of the good reasons for a poll -- to find out what is going on out there. There is certainly not enough votes for a perfect sample but hey, it's interesting nonetheless.
Once again, thanks to everyone who voted. |

IIRC, Chris had quoted elsewhere that he never uses GUI for his personal scripts.

Yup. The marvel of programming language grammars is that they allow for arbitrarily complex relationships to be expressed via plain text. Eventually your data needs to be expressed in the underlying programming language grammar anyway, and a lot of work has already been done to make that grammar be as easy to use and as expressive as possible, so why go to the effort to do something else? |
