Hi,

I wondered if anyone can point me to some examples of nice GUIs created with ahk, or which work with ahk?

Many thanks

Your question is meaningless.
A GUI is created to do stuff related to a script (script which in a pure code way should work without a gui), a gui alone is useless if you don't know what you want...

So asking for a "nice GUI" is not really interesting...

By the way, with AHK these is no real "nice" gui, you "can't" (easily) do things like Office 10 with AHK.

An example of "medium" complexity GUI :

Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, w115 y10 vOptDM, Dialog Model
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, w115 vOptBS, Subroutine Set
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, w115 vOptDS Checked, Data Section
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, w115 vOptDX, Dialog Box
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, w115 y10 x+5 vOptFD, Buffer
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, w115 y+6 vOptRUS, Standard Text
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, w115 y+6 vOptAll, Tout sauf StdTxt
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, w115 y+6 vOptAllRUS, Tout

Gui 1:Add, Button, w90 y10 vStartSearch Default, Rechercher
Gui 1:Add, Button, w90 y+10, Construire index
Gui 1:Add, Button, w90 y+10, Afficher l'index
Gui 1:Add, Button, w90 y+10, Extracteur
Gui 1:Add, Text, x10 yp-15,Recherche dans un répertoire spécifique :

Gui 1:Add, DropDownList, vDirSpec w75, C:\|D:\||E:\
Gui 1:Add, Text, ,Texte recherché (mot complet, exemple : test ne ramènera pas tests) :
Gui 1:Add, Edit, vSearch w335, Texte
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, x10 vReBuild, Remplacer fichiers déjà indexés
Gui 1:Add, CheckBox, x10 vNoCache Checked, Ne pas utiliser de cache
Gui 1:Add, Button, x+150 yp-10 w50 gQuitter, Quitter

Gui 1:Show

Return

GuiEscape:
GuiClose:
Quitter:
ExitApp

Ok, the text is French but you can see the use of edit (pre-filed), checkbox (pre-checked), combobox (pre-filed and selected) and button.

wonders why everyone writes gui's in global space instead of function

[tomoe_uehara]

What do you mean tank by 'writing gui in function' ?

[tank]

myGui()



myGui()

	{

	static thisVar, thatVar

	gui, SomeGuiName: new

	gui,Default

	gui,+LastFound

	gui, add, groupbox, w250 h130,example

	gui, add, text, xm12 ym30 section, this Label

	gui, add, text, xm12 yp+30, that label

	gui, add, button, yp+30 gDone, Ok

	gui, add, edit, ys ym30 vthisVar,

	gui, add, edit, yp+30  vthatVar,

	gui, add, button, yp+30  gguiclose, cancel

	gui, show,, gui in a function

	return winexist()

	

	Done:

		{

		gui,submit,nohide

		ListVars

		msgbox your values `nthisVar :%thisVar%`nthatVar :%thatVar%

		return

		}

	

	guiclose:

		{

		gui,destroy

		ExitApp

		return

		}

	}

HEELLLLLP!!!
I dont know why this is SO complicated! HOW do you write a script so that the checkbox guicontrolget doesnt start until submit button is pressed?????

[tomoe_uehara]

Use a g-label

[garvus]

Can you give me an example? If not I understand, but Ive been searching for days and Id love some help.

I need a two group gui two lists of checkboxes. When I press submit....I want the ahk to find all the checked boxes and run corresponding exe or msi . Essentially, a list of apps to be silently installed to make managing my pc lab easier.

I have written and rewritten....I have 19 student apps and 14 admin apps to install as needed in two groups of checkboxes using send keystrokes to automate the install....I just need to know the checkbox part.
This is my sample:

Gui, Add, CheckBox, x26 y20 w110 h60 vcomlife , Comic Life
Gui, Show, x131 y91 h172 w168, New GUI Window
Gui, Add, Button, defualt, Load Checked programs
Gui, Submit, nohide
Return

Comlife:
GuiControlGet,comlife1
runwait, D:\Install\comiclife-win.exe
   Return
}

Whats missing? Glabel? I looked it up, but not very clear how it is used. Sorry for being either blind or too noobly for all this.

sub or func
     {
     code
     }

very funny :lol:

I havent read the entire docs start to finish. But I read it and read it...and spent three days trying before asking for help. The problem is that it just states what everything is and how to use it. The help file never shows you how to use different commands together to achieve something..,. other than "hello world" lol.
Parameters ...blah blah.
Thanks....thats great. But how do I USE them to achieve something?

I really appreciate the help.
I learn best by seeing how groups of commands work together. I cant make heads or tails of the help file. Especially when it tells me three ways I can write something ....that I still do know how to use.

Thanks again!

[garvus]

Nice! NOW I get how to use a glabel!
Man you saved my bacon....
