Hi Rajat

,

Many thanks 1st of all for Smartgui creator!

However I am having difficulty (because I'm new to it) in undoing some of the selections I have made. I notice there is no facility to draw lines or change colours or draw circles etc to give a bit of eye-candy to the program window.

How do you undo selections made for editing or alteration please, I could not find a reference to it in the help file. I have used the group box to to draw a thin line as a workaround but am unable to change its colour.

Regards & Respect,

ispy Very Happy

Hey Rajat
Awesome! Really great, and easy to use too.

Wish list item: Idea

click and drag anchors for the controls, so that we can resize more easily than the current "move" menu option.

Gui helper information does not match the generated code. Why?

If you will notice the grid in the back, that is what I am guessing the GUI Helper is using. If I am correct, it too, is correct.

Connect the dots:

Gui uses client co-ordinates, which excludes the title bar and borders.
ControlGetPos and WinGetPos are typically used to determine the position and size of a control or window.
ControlGetPos and WinGetPos use window or screen co-ordinates.
x40y50 - x36y20 = x4y30.
The left border is roughly 4 pixels wide, and title bar roughly 30 pixels high (depends on visual style, etc.).

As a Win9x user, I'm trying hard to get some of the scripts posted around to work on my system. No easier was with Rajat's SmartGuiXP which excluded me from the user base right off the bat.
But I'm pretty stubborn when I know stuff can be done with a little (or more) effort. So I got down to work and the result is a Win9x-friendly version: SmartGuiXP v4.1b

To be honest, I haven't had the chance of testing it on a Win2000+ machine, but hopefully it will still work as originally designed, on such systems, since I did my best to encapsulate changes in If A_OSType switches by means of a w9x variable.

After some testing, I did find few small issues (under my Win98SE system) where an object would stay invisible until the user clicks in the editor window or the editor would just disallow selecting an object from the toolbar. The latter gets fixed when temporarily switching between SmartGui's window and another open app window and then back.

In time, these issues may get fixed, when I manage to get back on this project (since I already got too much on my plate). However, considering the previous version 3 - which used to be the only Win9x-compatible AHK editor - is pretty poor in options and extremely annoying with disabling certain keys (such as Backspace) throughout the system, I think these minor annoyances can well be accepted by a Win9x user that needs the help of a good editor.

I hope my changes would not bother Rajat or anyone else at the "higher quarters" and maybe - at some point - this version could be posted on the main page (instead of or along with v3) and even distributed with other powerful scripts such as SciTE4AutoHotkey v2 - which is the reason I decided to post this version here, since I saw it has Win9x-specific settings but only the original version of SmartGuiXP embedded with it.

If at least one other user finds this version useful then I am happy. Please enjoy!

Just wanted to say a quick thank you! I'm a totally untrained newbie programmer and am just starting to play with AHK, so this should be a huge help for my latest project! Very Happy

Just a heads up: v4.2 is now available for download here. A few fixes as well as enhancements and hopefully no extra bugs. Embarassed

• Font picker now shows a proper font selection dialog
• Custom option dialog is now a different beast: allows more options at once, both + and - at the same time
• helper/utility dialogs are now skinned (GUI helper still needs a retouch though)
• Ability to save to ini: Ask GUI count, Ask GUI label, Microediting options

[EDIT] File has been updated by adding compiled exe (forgot to pack it previously Embarassed

) and the original exe + sources.
[/EDIT]

I'm wondering why a couple of IniRead/IniWrites (in the control positioning routine) would screw up my mouse functions so that toolbar buttons can't be clicked anymore. Confused

Hopefully I'll get to the bottom of this.

Enjoy! Wink

Later edit: Oh well, after longer testing I did find a few bugs in the saved script, namely duplicated font and custom options. Will try to iron them out when possible. In the mean time, please check the output script manually and remove any duplicate options. Sorry for the inconvenience. Embarassed

Preview of the font is not showing in font selection dialog box... I don't knw if this is happening only on my pc...

Is everything else working properly in the font selection dialog? Does the font name/type/size get properly selected and applied?

What is your operating system type and version (i.e. XP-SP3, English or Vista, Chinese) ? I've tested the modded script mostly in Win98SE and briefly in XP-SP2 (English version, both) and appeared to work fine in that regard. Unfortunately I do not have access to Vista/7 for tests. Sad

I'm sorry it was my mistake... the preview appears when i select the font size. I only checked it by selecting different fonts....

Sorry again... Wink
