Can I make a window interface with buttons using Autoit?

[Jakew626]

Hello, 

This may seem like a dumb question but I'm not sure where to look or start on this subject. So I've been learning AutoIt and building scripts through trial and error these last couple years. I'd like to go to the next step by taking the lines of code I've written and make a usable interface like a window with buttons that execute different commands when clicked on or enabled. Also a desktop icon to launch the program. Is it possible to do that with Autoit or do I need to use other software to create the window and buttons and then assign a command to them? I'll definitely appreciate any advice. 

Thank you

Recommend looking at the help file GuiCtrlCreateButton examples, the help file includes a large number of examples, including system tray icon etc..

For example look here, there is my GUI wrapper for DriveMapAdd() command

In the Scite editor just press ALT-M to bring up the Coda form designer. It can be found on the menu under Tools.

Koda Form Designer makes it pretty easy to build basic GUI's I use it all the time.

Nothing super pretty, but always pretty functional
