Button Calculator.xls [Excel 2003]

Preamble
--------
I designed this MS Excel Workbook for myself and then thought about making such available to others.

Disclaimer
----------
Two important "things" to note, 1) I will NOT be providing a great deal of explanation as to how all of this "works" - being hopeful that those that ARE interested in this information will have the wherewithal to "figure thing out for themselves", and 2) I will NOT be providing any support beyond what is written here.

Focus
-----
The Workbook focuses entirely on "GUICtrlCreateButton", and the various parameters that are involved.

Notes
-----
There are three Worksheets:
1) Notes
2) One for Rows
3) One for Columns

Important Points
----------------
The Notes Worksheet highlights the important "data" employed in the other two Worksheets.

The two "key" data are the "Left" parameter and the "Top" parameter, as these are the parameters that will be "incremented".

The employment of the colours is "purposeful", and therefore, this colour-scheme is employed throughout.

The Cells
---------
Do NOT alter any of the cells - with the exception of those cells noted below. All of the cells - other than those noted below, are "referenced". For example: [E3] is referencing [=B$2], [L8] references [=B$8], and so on.

The Rows Worksheet
------------------
Rows A2 to A8 are "labels" some of which reference the parameters for the "GUICtrlCreateButton" function.
Rows B2 to B8 are the values to enter for the left, top, width and height of the button.

An important note...
Most of the button criteria that I employ consist of the following:

Left: 10
Top: 10
Width: 100 to 125
Height: 25
Spacer: 5
Right Spacer: 10
Bottom Spacer: 10

This creates a button that is 10-left, 10-top, 100-width, 25-height. When adding more buttons, please note the following:

1) The 5-Spacer is employed for both vertical and horizontal button spacing.
2) The 10-Right Spacer is employed for the right "padding" - thus, being the counter-part for 10-Left.
3) The 10-Bottom Spacer is employed for the bottom "padding" - thus, being the counter-part for 10-Top.

The only real variable that I employ is the "Width" parameter - which as shown, varies from 100 to 125.

Supporting Information
----------------------
All of the various Information pertinent to the Button Calculator will be provided in a single Zip file, which will contain the following:

1) Columns.txt: The "cell references" for the Columns Worksheet.
2) Rows.txt: The "cell references" for the Rows Worksheet.
3) The Button Calculator.xls Workbook.
 As noted, this Workbook was developed employing Excel 2003. Though some might find this employment rather odd, I have never felt any real need to "upgrade".
4) Master.au3: A scripts for testing our the values. Please note the following:
 All of the commands have been commented out.
 The parameters are those noted above for a 100 width button.
5) Image_1: Noting "the eight key parameters", for what will be herein referred to as "incremental values", one for rows [RIV], and one for columns [CIV].
 1 and 2, are for the Width and Height of the GUI.
 3-6, are for the [CIV]'s - which is the case is "105".
 7, is for the [RIV]'s - which is the case is "30".
 8, is for the button width.
6) Image_2: A screen capture of the Rows Worksheet.
7) Image_3: A screen capture of the Columns Worksheet.

I sincerely hope that the above information will be of some practicable use to others?
