Can't view Editor?

30 Apr 2019, 00:23

I can't seem to be able to view the editor at all, I only get a blank pane. On Windows 10:
This occurs if I load a sample project or create my own GUI

Scintilla is not being loaded. Do you get an error message when starting AutoGUI?

Sorry for the very late reply! No I don't get any error, I am running it on a work PC and there are lots of restrictions so maybe something to do with that?

Is there an empty instance of the editor where you can type when you open AutoGUI?

If there is a group policy or ACL restriction affecting the loading of the DLL, you will get an error message.

Some steps that can be taken to determine the cause of the problem:
- Open a script in AutoGUI and press F9 to run it. If the execution succeeds, it means that somehow the text editor component is not being properly resized.
- Run a tool called Expressive, which can be found in the Tools folder, and see if it works. This tool also uses the Scintilla editor component.
- Try running AutoGUI from another folder or from a pen drive.
- Close AutoGUI and delete the settings file, AutoGUI.ini.

- Running the script works, for instance I tried running the Notepad one and it was able to load the Notepad window but I still not see the code
- Expressive runs
- Running from a different folder didn't make a difference and neither did deleting the settings file :(
