GUI Button doesn't show

[SorryButImaNewbie]

Hello and sorry!

I'm sorry because I know that there is a separet GUI help forum, but the General Help seems to be much more active. I started to learn GUIs today (I finished most of my Functions for a program, and I thought its time I start to develop the UI). I'm trying to place my buttons and even that seems to be a bit hard, I used to create UIs with some Graphic Interface (in C#), so I'm not good at building it from code. For this reason I started a simple GUI for some basic experience with the thing and I have a few questions already.

In default GUICtrlCreateButton should size the button width to the Text, yet this doesn't seems to be the case.

Also one of my button doesn't appear and I don't know why? (code below)

I would welcome any best practice or guides you like or was helpful when you was a beginner like me

(I have found https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/best-content/ , is anyone has experience with it? It looks good for me, but is it? I have to ask for permission before I download so i would like to hear its good before asking for permission)

Thank you for your help!

PS.: (In my posts in the forums I dont seems to be able to write anything after autoit code, more accuretly I can write but it doesnt display it)

The button that doesn't show is the $buttontest

Func MainGUI()
    Local $Button1, $Button2, $msg, $buttontest

Post runable code.

people could do without tracking down includes.

[SorryButImaNewbie]

Sorry

includes (and with this, this is the entire code)

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
#include <GuiStatusBar.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>
#include <ScreenCapture.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <StaticConstants.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <FileConstants.au3>
#include <File.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Opt("GUICoordMode", 2) places the controls relative to the last control.

$ButtonExit is right at the bottom, so your next button is off the gui.

Change to this to see what I mean...

$buttontest = GUICtrlCreateButton("teszt",-100,0,100)

Perhaps you might want to try >Form Designer, or >ISN AutoIt Studio.

You can find those in Example Scripts section.

Yup, it works, I knew Opt("GUICoordMode", 2) was something i should have skipped, and try to use my own brain.

Anyway Thank you John you are the one

I will use GUIStartGroups instead, and look in to these Designers, thanks
