hello all last week, i did a request towards larry for some explanation concerning this tool. i'm posting now his answer. hopefully this will benefit someone. hello eric, You will have to wait until I get a proper Help File made. until then here is a brief explanation. AU3GUI looks at Environment variables to know what king of Window to create. So we need to load into Environment variables the information that creates the window. There are default sizes and positions for every object, including the window... so Run,AU3GUI.exe will create a default window... let's give the window a title... SetEnv,GUI.title,My Window ; for AU3 EnvSet("GUI.title","My Window") Run,AU3GUI.exe let's add an input and a button SetEnv,GUI.title,My Window SetEnv,OBJ1.type,input SetEnv,OBJ2.type,button SetEnv,OBJ2.text,My Button SetEnv,OBJ2.y,30 Run,AU3GUI.exe let's tell the GUI to send to a file. and the button will cause the action and close the window. SetEnv,GUI.title,My Window SetEnv,GUI.action,1 SetEnv,GUI.file,Mywindow.ini SetEnv,OBJ1.type,input SetEnv,OBJ2.type,button SetEnv,OBJ2.text,My Button SetEnv,OBJ2.y,30 SetEnv,OBJ2.submit,1 SetEnv,OBJ2.close,1 RunWait,AU3GUI.exe IniRead,test,Mywindow.ini,GUI,OBJ1 MsgBox,4096,OBJ1 contains,%test% That is a simple taste for now... there is MUCH more... if you have a specific need... let me knoe and I will help. Lar.

great to know there is a living help file somewhere on this wonderful blue planet...

what are the pro and contra's of the two gui's in order to launch autoit scripts. dos there already exist a proper helpfile for au3gui?
