GuiCmd.ahk

[burque505]

I'm posting this code I cobbled together a couple of years ago, not because it's great or even finished, but just because there seems to be current interest in a GUI in AHK for cmd.exe. Maybe someone else will improve on it. EDIT: This script assumes CLR.ahk is somewhere you can find it, I think, I have it in my LIB folder in the AutoHotkey program folder. (Or is CLR support built in now? I don't even know.) RE-EDIT: Up arrow and down arrow work for command history, although not exactly duplicating cmd.exe experience.

Things it doesn't do, but probably will at some point:

1) Use a sane folder select (at the moment it requires an included DLL - see ZIP) - should probably use SelectFolderEx(), I'm looking at it.
2) Allow changing directory from the command line (requires a separate button at the moment)
3) Operate flicker-free
4) Work without reliance on external libs (uses obj2tr.ahk at the moment)

Annoyances I should have fixed by now but haven't (why put off till tomorrow what you can put off till the day after tomorrow?) :
a) Flickering.
b) Can't cd from the command line.

A true annoyance I can't do anything about at the moment (I think @HotKeyIt already put in a pull request regarding this):
A) UNICODE OUTPUT does not work well.

Not very well tested at all, beware!

Everything's in the ZIP.

I do find it useful, maybe not today, but it sure is something great to see!
