Object Oriented GUI

[FaridAgl]

Here is my first attempt to make working with GUIs in an even more fun way in AutoIt, however it's some how my second try to achieve this goal!

Previously!: '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

No more explanations, the code will do the rest:

expandcollapse popup

#include-once
#include "Form.class.au3"
#AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6

_AutoItObject_Startup()

Global $oForm = Form("Form Name")
$oForm.Title = "New Title"

Global $btn = $oForm.Button("Hello", 10, 10, 100, 25)
$btn.Text = "Hi there!"

Global $chk = $oForm.CheckBox("Hello", 10, 45, 100, 15)
$chk.Cursor = 0

Global $txt = $oForm.TextBox("Hello", 10, 70, 100, 20)
$txt.ToolTip("Hello again!")

Global $lbl = $oForm.Label("Hello", 10, 100, 100, 15)
$lbl.Font(25, "Impact")
$lbl.Location(150, 10)
$lbl.Size(100, 100)

Global $cbo = $oForm.ComboBox("Hello", 10, 125, 100, 20)
Global $grp = $oForm.GroupBox("Hello", 10, 155, 100, 50)
Global $opt = $oForm.RadioButton("Hello", 10, 215, 100, 15)
Global $lst = $oForm.ListBox("Hello", 10, 240, 100, 50)
Global $lvw = $oForm.ListView("Hello", 10, 300, 100, 50)

$oForm.Visible = True

While (True)
    Switch (GUIGetMsg())
        Case -3 ;$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $btn.Id
            MsgBox(16, "", "", 0, $oForm.Handle)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

It's somehow far from being ready for a serious useage, just want to check if there is any similar idea, maybe in a better way.

Check the attachment.

Very interesting idea. Just so you know, doesn't work with AutoIt 64-bit and the latest beta version, though 32-bit was fine.

I have done a very similar thing in the past but never got around to finsihing it up.  Here is a link to the post: .

Here is the project in case you want to look through it.

The way this works is that I figured all controls share the same concepts.  So there is objCtrl which has all of those concepts wrapped up into one.  Then individual controls can inherit from that and either add to it or take away away from objCtrl accordingly.
