WhyTea Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I'd like to write GUI front-ends to some old command line tools. Autoit seems to be very well suited for the tasks. What I have in mind is cscope and Clearcase tools. I looked through the code samples but couldn't find anything there. The idea is simple: - complicated command line options and data are presented to users as data fields, drop-down lists, radio buttons, etc. - once executed, outputs of the programs are presented to the users in a textbox. In the case of cscope, double click on the line will launch an editor and load the file. Has anybody already done something similar? Any sample code or suggestions will be much appreciated. Is there a good tutorial on how to build a GUI interface with Autoit? Does a GUI builder exist? /Why Tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes with SciTE. It is the current GUI builder.

WhyTea Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Search for Koda. It also comes with SciTE. It is the current GUI builder.Thank you. Exactly what I need. I have already created a simple but functional GUI front-end. However, I don't seem to be able to change the tab sequence, i.e. tab from the first input control jumps to the OK button, then Cancel and then to the second input control. How do I change the tab sequence to input 1 (tab ->) input 2 (tab ->) OK button (tab ->) Cancel Button?/Why Tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvanegmond Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 If the tab order is alphabetic you can change it to: 1. Input1 2. Input2 3. OK Traditionally, people use multiple GUI for this, and not multiple tabs. github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From an input field, how do I treat <Enter> key as if the OK Button is pressed?/Why Tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
