Grid positioning of GUI controls

23 Feb 2023, 05:04

Hi,
I found GridGUI here : viewtopic.php?style=17&f=6&t=93513
Sadly it's for v1 only and not native.
I think such a great feature would hugely benefit the GUI conception in AHK.

This GridGUI is awesome, it would be very nice to see it native in AutoHotkey v2. 8-)

More modern frameworks have various layout methods, such as grid, horizontal/vertical stacking, table, and probably others. I think the current paradigm is ill-suited to dynamic, scalable GUIs (and in particular, supporting per-monitor DPI scaling), and someday intend to try a more thorough redesign. However, I have many other ideas that are more interesting to me at the moment.

WinUI has these types of layout methods. WinUI 2 can be used via winrt.ahk, discussed here. It can be somewhat complicated, though.
