 Posted: Fri Sep 03, 2004 4:43 pm Post subject: GUI Alpha-Test Version Available |
 |
|
There was an interest expressed in helping test the GUI features. So if you have the inclination and the time, feel free to download this small zip file (159 KB). It contains a test version of AutoHotkey.exe and some sample scripts. To run the scripts, either overwrite your own AutoHotkey.exe with this one; or (more simply) drag & drop a script onto the included EXE.
You will notice that this is just a rudimentary version; only the most essential features are present. There is a lot more work to be done for the 1.0.19 release. But unless my house gets demolished by a hurricane, I hope to have it finished within the next 10 days.
Feedback of any kind is welcome.
Edit: fixed typo

Sweet!!
I could not find any breakage.
I copied and pasted from the edit area box, no problem.
Interesting use of xm and ym to control the layout.
One thing about the edit control and this is a grey area, is that if the user presses return, that it will execute an event (normally the same event as a button).
Gonna mess around with it more tomorrow...

Absolutely superb !!!
Just two little questions :
I'd like to know if there are option buttons, that I didn't see.
Will it be possible to choose the character size (only once, for the full GUI that will be diplayed) in the final version ?
I hope there will be the less problems possible with Francine, for all the concerned populations. |

Do you mean radio buttons? I was considering whether to do them for this next release or defer until the following. This is because they seem somewhat rarely used (most interfaces seem to use listboxes or comboboxes instead), and they are harder to set up than other controls since some syntax must be devised to group radios together so that only one can be on at a time.

Yes: size, color, weight (boldness), and font-family will be supported. |

i'd vote for radio buttons if they're doable easily... but as lists can work as a substitute, u can maybe defer it.

Yes Chris I think about radio buttons.
I think that for choosing between 2 or 3 possibilities, it is more simple than a listbox or combo box. But if you can't, never mind.
Good news for the possility of choosing font
What else ? Oh yes, a very very good job...
PS : I wanted of course speak about Frances hurricane saying Francine... |

| Perhaps bold is the default dialog style. I plan to change it to be non-bold by default. |
