kurtykurtyboy Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 @argumentum Nice ideas, I will make sure to include this in the next update! Thanks for the contribution. BTW, I still have light / dark mode color adjustment in the back of my mind. I haven't forgotten about your request. I just haven't dug deep enough to implement it yet. argumentum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseLB Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Hello, It's been a while since there's been an update here... Today I still use the good old Koda on a daily basis... Anyone who is using this one in practice, can you tell me if it's a good and stable replacement for Koda ? Â Thanks, Jose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtykurtyboy Posted March 8, 2023 Author Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) @HighlanderSword Yes I am still trying to make updates for this. I started working on undo/redo functionality but ran into a roadblock, and life and work keep getting in the way. Â @joseLB I would say Koda is more fully featured and more stable at this point. Once you get used to some quirks, it is very good. In my opinion, GuiBuilderPlus is perfect for when you want to quickly whip up a GUI or mockup for a simple app. With a few more features coming (like undo/redo), I think it will be much more useful.

Popular Post kurtykurtyboy Posted March 30, 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2023 It's been a while. But here we are again, finally, with another update. Check the first post for v1.0.0-beta4. I'm excited to announce the new undo/redo functionality, which makes this little program 100x more useful (in my humble opinion). I'm sure there are lots of bugs to be found. Let me know! Highlights: FIXED: Jumping while resizing ADDED: Undo / redo functionality ADDED: Change window title to match Title property UPDATED: More sophisticated handling of AutoIt3.exe location UPDATED: Updated About dialog spstudios, SOLVE-SMART, ioa747 and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtykurtyboy Posted April 4, 2023 Author Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) Neat feature alert! Check the first post for the latest update v1.0.0-beta5. You can now add code/events to buttons, labels, etc.. by using the right-click context menu or double-clicking on the control. This works for both Msg mode as well as OnEvent mode. The extra code is added dynamically only for those controls who have event code assigned, so you won't have tons of extra and unneeded bloat in the generated code. ADDED:   Add events to controls (right-click menu or double click) ADDED:   Add options to code preview window for convenience FIXED:   Could not 'undo' drawing of new control  Example of a MsgBox assigned to $Button_1 in Msg mode: And here is the generated code for OnEvent mode: I'm thinking about possibly adding a default code input, such as ConsoleWrite("Event: Button_1" & @CRLF) since most people would be using this for prototyping and not full-on coding.

kurtykurtyboy Posted April 5, 2023 Author Share Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) For anyone who follows this project: Would it be useful (or worth my time) to generate a help file for this app? Does anyone have a suggestion for an easy way to create help files? That is new for me. Edit: I think I found a decent solution using Microsoft HTML Help Workshop Edited April 5, 2023 by kurtykurtyboy TheSaint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtykurtyboy Posted April 6, 2023 Author Share Posted April 6, 2023 Here is my first pass at the help file. This was more of a learning exercise for me, but I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions. I know I can probably add more details, but I think the meat of it is all there. I used the AutoIt help file for inspiration on formatting. GuiBuilderPlus.chm argumentum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoolDJMic Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I having issues where i cannot edit the menu options after adding the menu as well as i am unable to add a drop down for the menu i am currently running on windows server 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtykurtyboy Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) @KoolDJMic Once you add the menu, you can edit the label using the Text property. To add items to the menu, you'll have to make sure the object explorer is showing (you can show it via the View menu). Right click the menu in the object list to add menu items. To add additional main menus, just select the menu button again and click on the gui like you did the first time.

winkot Posted April 21, 2023 Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) I can not change color for button. My settings for color is not saved. What to do? Edited April 21, 2023 by winkot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtykurtyboy Posted April 21, 2023 Author Share Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) @winkot Changing button colors is intentionally disabled because it produces unexpected buttons/styles. I suppose I can allow it for anyone to use at their own risk/peril. Edited April 21, 2023 by kurtykurtyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurtykurtyboy Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Yes, it is an AutoIt issue. The help file has the note: "Button controls are always painted in "Windows Classic style". They cannot have the $BS_ICON style." So when you apply a background or text color change to a button, the button no longer looks like a standard Windows button and it behaves slightly differently. For instance, it will 'steal' the Enter key and activate the button whenever you press Enter. Here are a few discussions on it, if you are curious - but no real explanations.Changing button colors on clickHow to change the back color of button...GUICtrlSetBkColor() causes button to catch enter key  On 4/22/2023 at 11:00 AM, Musashi said: You may want to take a look at the following UDF (also created by @kurtykurtyboy ) : guiflatbutton-udf Ah yes, my most over-engineered solution to a borderline non-issue! 😂 (although I do use this quite often) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkot Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 GuiBuilderPlus does not have the ability to change the font. I do it manually. For example, I use the Calibri font. But when I import the code into GuiBuilderPlus, my font settings are gone. I would like that what I installed manually remained untouched. Is it realy?

kurtykurtyboy Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 @winkot Changing the font name and weight will be available in the next release, along with a slew of other updates. I'm just finishing some things up before it will be ready. Hopefully, you will see something soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
