Thank you gregster. My greatest hope is that nothing bad happened to Steve. However all my points still stand. We do not live regular times - can't say 'normal' because nobody knows what that may mean from day to day - so we should expect anything. Of course people are entitled to their own behavior...

Call me crazy but I have a theory. For the last few months I saw at least a couple well-known knowledgeable people simply dissapear from the Linux Mint community ( gm10 and smurphy ). There may be more. Now Steve (Lexikos) has gone without a trace. How many others are currently missing from the AHK ...

Oh, rats!

Xie-xie, garry.

Last year, the rats spread the plague. This year, [we] the oxen will plow the fields whipped into submission. What will be next year: tigers hunting the oxen, bringing the herd to the brink of extinction...? And then... open season for the remaining ones turned into frightened rabbits. Game over. Ha...

Sad to hear that. What if people need multiple GUIs in the other languages that you plan to support? It would be a harsh limitation.
Anyway, keep up the good work!

Drugwash

Would the new version be capable of creating/editing multiple GUIs in a single script, or would that be another, far away... adventure?

Drugwash

Alternatively, or in conjunction with SKAN's solution above there may be another one that reads LastWrite time for the selected file. It may be of use, say to check if the file has been tampered with. As long as the file is in its original pristine state the LastWrite timestamp should be the same as...

Thank you very much. All the best to you too!

I meant the situations you described yourself when window is very big or is mostly outside of display(s). Even if you haven't heard of that or didn't happen to you it doesn't mean it hasn't happened or wouldn't happen in the future. The idea is to cover all the bases in advance. But it's just an ide...

Drugwash

Yes, we have simple cases and corner cases. As one who's stumbled into corner cases too many times I'd say we should cover them all as best as possible.
Have you tested the APIs I mentioned in such corner cases and compared results to AHK's built-in functions' results?

Drugwash

I'm saying that, logically, where the window is should be where the most of it lies. So if a window is 98% in monitor 2 but its top-left point is in monitor 1, the result should be 2, not 1. Maybe in some special case one would want the other result, so if a custom function would be built for this p...

Drugwash

Maybe the safest way is to get active window's position+size in a RECT using GetWindowRect() and then call MonitorFromRect() . That's because contrary to what is suggested above the latter "retrieves a handle to the display monitor that has the largest area of intersection with a specified rectangle...

Couldn't the additional Compile (GUI) option be added as a submenu of the main Compile script , where first would be something like in background and second with GUI ? That would avoid the cluttering of the main context menu while offering the additional GUI option. Also there would be no need for a...

Drugwash

Ah, if the import takes care of any necessary conversion then it's OK. Frankly I haven't played much with AutoGUI, for some reason, so I don't really know its strengths and weaknesses. Anyway, it's good we got to talk some ideas out, maybe at some point something useful will come out of this. Thank ...

Drugwash

Understandable. At least you now know more about other editors.

The only drawback in Relativity is that once converted, a GUI cannot be edited again in AutoGUI. A bidirectional conversion might even allow a seamless integration of Relativity in AutoGUI as one of the official tools.

To be fair, SmartGui is quite outdated considering latest changes in AHK 1.1 (it was developed by Rajat and then myself mostly in the AHK 1.0 era). I tried my best to make it compatible with Win9x - since it used to be my main OS - and at some point attempted to update it to work with AHK 1.1 Unicod...

Indeed the issue with variable-bound coordinates can be tricky, but is solvable with a bit of effort (like asking the user to manually input values for each variable, for example). The v , g , hwnd and other parameters can be parsed, if existing. SmartGUI does that. ;) Of course, everything can be p...

Drugwash

Thanks for considering my suggestions. Long ago I managed to get SmartGui Creator to extract most of the GUI-related code and process it, including such "non-standard" coordinates. It wasn't perfect by any means but sometimes it could do a good job. Code, however, was a mess. :lol: And, ironically, ...

Drugwash

Good idea, could've used such tool back on Windows. :) Tried to test it in Linux Mint under Wine 5.1 and first thing popped up an error messagebox related to the Switch command. I realised it was due to an older AHK version (1.1.30.03) so I updated to 1.1.32.00. It may be a good idea for you to ment...

Drugwash

It's logical for all running variants to be identical in capabilities. One may have a multitude of scripts to compile - some using Directives, others not. And then even when using Directives there may be something wrong that would be much easier to fix in the GUI than searching, editing, saving, esp...
