Alguimist:
Great work, it the best I have seen and keeps getting better.
One feature seems to be broken in version 1.1.0:

In Properties window the g-Label is put in the controls option field when the Apply button is hit; as before. But now the Target label and its return do not get built in script, as in previous version .
That, in IMHO was a very neat feature, not seen in other published GUI builder.
Thanks for this useful and time saving program.

The line "; End of the GUI section" is a delimiter after which routines or functions can be written. This is more convenient, since code can be tested while the GUI has not been finished yet.

For example:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv
#Warn
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%

Menu Tray, Icon, shell32.dll, 112
Gui Color, White
Gui Add, GroupBox, x9 y6 w277 h95
Gui Add, Text, x20 y27 w68 h23 +0x200, Username:
Gui Add, Edit, hWndhUsername vUsername gValidateUsername x93 y27 w180 h23, @
Gui Add, Text, x20 y62 w68 h23 +0x200, Password:
Gui Add, Edit, vPassword x93 y62 w180 h23 Password, PASSWORD
Gui Add, ListView, x-1 y112 w300 h49 -Hdr Disabled, ListView
Gui Add, Button, gCheckPassword x68 y125 w75 h23 Default, &OK
Gui Add, Button, gGuiClose x153 y125 w75 h23, &Cancel
Gui Show, w297 h160, Login
Return

GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
    ExitApp

; End of the GUI section

ValidateUsername:
	Gui Submit, Nohide
	If (RegExMatch(Username, "[^\w\-]")) {
		PtrType := (A_PtrSize = 8) ? "Ptr" : "UInt"
		EM_SHOWBALLOONTIP := 0x1503
		Title := "Invalid input"
		Text := "Only letters, numbers, underscores and hyphens are allowed."
		cbSize := (A_PtrSize = 8) ? 32 : 16
		VarSetCapacity(EDITBALLOONTIP, cbSize)
		NumPut(cbSize, EDITBALLOONTIP, 0, "Int")
		NumPut(&Title, EDITBALLOONTIP, (A_PtrSize = 8) ? 8 : 4, PtrType)
		NumPut(&Text,  EDITBALLOONTIP, (A_PtrSize = 8) ? 16 : 8, PtrType)
		NumPut(3, EDITBALLOONTIP, (A_PtrSize = 8) ? 24 : 12, "Int")
		SendMessage EM_SHOWBALLOONTIP, 0, &EDITBALLOONTIP,, ahk_id%hUsername%
	}
Return

CheckPassword:
	Gui Submit, NoHide
	If (Password == "password") {
		Run Notepad
	} Else {
		MsgBox 0x2010, Error, The password is incorrect.
	}
Return

Eventually, the script will be generated in a way that only the affected lines will be updated, and then, double-clicking a control, rather than displaying the change text dialog, will place the cursor inside a function block.

Hi Alguimist:
Thanks for the fast reply, see the reasoning now. I'm getting too old and lazy, thought I could save some typing of the labels and their returns. Plus not having to remember the label name. I could have saved a post if I did a little more testing. Thanks again for straightening me out.

looks very well done, one of the most polished scripts ive seen

@Alguimist Can Autogui support to resize the control size in drag-drop method?

I re-open a file which saved at windows7 using windows2003 with 32bit-ahk,all controls are invisable.then add a control again.all the saved code is empty.

I also run Autogui on surface windows10,the position where I want to place the control has a long distance with the location of controls' actual appear.

Hi Alguimist:

AutoGUI just gets better and better, I'm sure many appreciate all your hard work.

Scaling problems are seen at higher than normal DPIs. Found this right after I tried your first version.
Had seen the same thing the year before on another GUI builder. I put these changes in your first version, but waited to post it. Wanted to see if anyone else uses higher than normal DPI. Then forgot about it. Guess I'm the only old guy.

These two changes are only needed if computer display DPI is higher than 100%.
Control panel display may say Smaller, or 100%, or default.
To see what I mean change your to higher than normal, temporarily.

This fixes the controls Placement, Alignment t & b, Center h & v, and Space h & v.
Change Line 624 "Gui %Child%: New, LabelChild hWndhChildWnd Resize OwnerAuto"
to add "-DPIScale" at its end.

This fixes placement of selection highlight on controls. The highlight is placed to the right and low, the distance increases with each control added.
Change Line 1327 "Gui New, hWndhSelWnd ToolWindow -Border -Caption +E0x20 +OwnerAuto +LastFound"
to add "-DPIScale" at its end.

Hi Alguimist,
Just try the script, and to say that it's great

.
I've just test a simple GUI. One think that missing (or maybe not found), add a label to a button and maybe also add it to a label. On my example it's the gBTOK.

Code: Select all

	Gui New, +AlwaysOnTop
	Gui Font, s12 Bold cRed, Calibri
	Gui Add, Text, x64 y24 w120 h23 +0x200 Center, Pas d'erreur !!
	Gui Font
	Gui Add, Button, x83 y80 w75 h23 Default gBTOK, Sortie
	Gui Show, w241 h117, Résultat
	Return

	BTOK:
	GuiEscape:
	GuiClose:
		Gui, Destroy
		ExitApp
	return

When I try to run it, I receive an error on line 3356 "... missing an end percent sign". So, naturally I go and look and find everything is just fine. You're using an expression to call out a property. Cool. Fine. It should work. So, as a troubleshooting step I switched the line

Code: Select all

SplitPath, % Sci[g_TabIndex].FullFileName,, Folder

to

Code: Select all

test := Sci[g_TabIndex].FullFileName
SplitPath, %test% ,, Folder

But, when I run it now, I just see a "Developer" script running, and when I edit it, it is just a notepad with default ahk instructions. What on earth am I doing wrong? lol.

Posted: **17 Dec 2015, 22:57**

@fischgeek: Which version of AHK do you use? Can you test the script on another computer or on a virtual machine?

Posted: **18 Dec 2015, 13:08**

the password for the file?

Just installed the latest version of ahk. Tried it and get the same results. Also same thing on another machine. One is windows8 and one is windows10. Am I just stupid? All I need to do is open the script file named AutoGUI.ahk no?

Posted: **23 Dec 2015, 02:43**

Yes, thats right.

Posted: **23 Dec 2015, 11:56**

Neat project

If you need any help with SciLexer.dll let me know. I have a small project that uses it. https://autohotkey.com/board/topic/85996-ahk-studio/

Posted: **23 Dec 2015, 16:54**

@maestrith "a small project" Hahahahahah Nice Joke xD, its a huge project!

also Merry Christmas guys

Posted: **23 Dec 2015, 18:33**

WOW! Love this! Thanks for making and sharing it.
I tried putting it here: C:\Program Files\AutoHotkey\AutoGUI-1.1.1 (64x Windows)
Got this error
---------------------------
Program
---------------------------
Script file not found:
C:\Program
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
Then I moved the AutoGUI folder to: C:\AutoGUI-1.1.1
It seems to work fine now.

EDIT: Actually, upon looking at the code, maybe this is only designed for 32bit installations(?) Please advice.
Also, is it okay to compile the script? (Just so that I'll have fewer little green Hs in my system tray

)
