Hi peeps, are you able to please help me out with reducing/eliminating the flicker when the GUI is being resized? The example is attached. Reason for zip is that I'm using a couple of UDFs (namely: Ribbon bar and ModernMenuRaw so I've included them in the attached archive).

Hi guys, I read these threads: and I thought about, is it possible to add such things to Autoit core or make it available by creating a free dll or UDF? There are lot of Windows controls which are available through functions included in Autoit3 core and there are some additional things added via UDFs. Can somebody explain to me, what needs to be done to have the possibility to create menus like in Excel and so on with Autoit. Thanks! Sorry, I'm no C++ programmer and that is why, I do not know much about these COM objects and .Net classes ... So, please do not flame me. Mega
