mattw112 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 It's been a couple years since I last built something with AutoIT, but I've been working with it on and off for 10 years or so. I need to build a quick app with GUI. What are people using now a days for form designing? Still Koda? Any of those other independent projects ever come to fruition? Looks like there's a modern apps UDF too? As part of this app, I need to have a place to make admin settings within the gui (I don't want an INI or reg keys) but I don't want the standard user to access these settings. What is the best way to do that? I'm thinking a new form with a password or something on it? Thanks, Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefrey Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Hello! Quote What are people using now a days for form designing? Still Koda? Any of those other independent projects ever come to fruition? Mostly Koda, I guess. But I've used ISN AutoIt Studio and it has really impressed me. Quote Looks like there's a modern apps UDF too? There's a few... also for Ribbons... although I've tested some and they were only images-based simulations or required external tools.

Skysnake Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Put your config into a SQLite db. It's safe from most users and with low write concurrency can serve a wide audience. Skysnake Why is the snake in the sky? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
