Wow, Looks like a visual basic interface very very impressive. I'll try it out although I like the old fashion way. Go Microsoft Notepad

It looks visual basic, doesn't it? But a quick peek at the source will show you that it is purely AHK.

Would be nice to see color buttons and other custom controls added. Though just a select few like colored buttons, would be cool.

any idea how i could add an ie control to this

As you'd probably only need control sizing/positioning help from SGUI, you can do this:
- create any control (like Edit control) in SGUI in place of the IE control.
- position it just like you'd want to place the IE control.
- Save the output of SGUI and replace the Edit control with IE in script.

That should work for all new controls.

Rajat, thanks for this great tool! However, I keep getting messages that the keyboard or mouse hook could not be activated. Can this be fixed?

[Da Rossa]

Rajat, you're the man!!!
Just one suggestion: please improve the objects handling: the moviments and resizes of buttons, images and etc inside the grid, as well as allowing to select multiple objects at once by drawing a (flawless) rectangle!

Greetings,
I've used this to create a few simple GUI's, well, 2 actually so far.
I'm using version 4.0 (the about is hidden, and isn't under Help/About where one would expect it. I finally found it and I really like the 'check latest' version button - Quite nice!)

Overall, it is quite useful. Here is my wish list from the first few days of using it:

1. Give me the ability to set the Varname (vXXX option)
2. Give me the ability to set the 'GoSub' (vXXX option)
3. By default, ^S should save modified GUI to original file.
(I can't think of a situation where that would be bad.)
(I blew away all my event handler code 3-5 times in the last
two days)
4. Set a flag if you have changed anything, so it doesn't ask to save on exit if you haven't changed anything. (Clear it on save, of course)

5. Reload should reload the file when it is reloaded.
6. If you do a File/Open when you have one open, it might be nice if it opened it.. Or did something.
7. Recent used file list would be nice.
8. Auto detecting when the file under it has changed, and asking if you want to reload (only need check when focus is set into the program.)
9. The command line option (that is documented) "smartgui GiveMeSource" just exits as far as I can tell. No message, no nothing.
10. The 'Test script' seems like it doesn't function right - it seems to write out just the GUI part of the script to a file and then run it. All my event code isn't there, so it isn't just updating the file and running it. Not sure why one would ever need this - at least, this way... Being able to execute the script (using AHK) seems reasonable, and simple to implement.. Just write out your changes (Ctrl/S, assuming the above was done) and execute the file. Very similar to the way Visual Studio does it's run command.


That pretty much covers the first two days of use.. Well, more like first 2-3 hours of use. It's pretty rough, but it works, and it doesn't lose (most of the time - unless I hit Ctr/S) the changes that I make to the file beyond those made in the tool.

PS: A feature I'd like to see in AHK: The ability to continue to work when you close the Terminal Server connection (XP's Remote connection) to the machine. I'm sure I'm just missing something, but I've locked it up solid and had to reboot the machine to get it back before.

Overall, this is an Awesome thing to find and I've already come up with a bunch of things I can do with it!

I second everything Traderhut mentioned. I also have a few more things to add:

1. When loading a GUI with tabs, all the tabs are shown on top of each other until you select one of the tabs. I'm thinking only the first tab should be shown...
2. It would be nice if when you edited a edit/hotkey field (by simply clicking in it and typing), it would automatically change the label.
3. It would help a lot with readability if, when the script is saved, all of the elements are placed in order from top to bottom, left to right, instead of in the order they were created.

Nice work though, keep it up! Despite its minor flaws, SmartGUI has probably saved me several hours of work making GUIs.
