Examples of Non-Standard GUIs (ActiveX, GDI, etc.)

[hoppfrosch]

A plain one:


It's a simple representation of a keyboard Numpad-block. The first row of the GUI represent 4 Tabs - the rows below represent the keypad. Therefore I do have 4*17 different buttons (17 on each tab).

I use this for my Window/Multimonitor-Management tool (WorkInProcess). The current tab you see is used for Window-Resizing. The functionality can be accessed via Button-click or via NumPad. It's invoked via doubleKeypress for example: #Numpad1-Numpad5 (#Numpad1 opens the GUI and selects Tab 1 - and Numpad5 the desired functionality)

Nice, I like the 2nd style. So the first technically is not a groupbox?

Other than GDI+, I imagine using an ActiveX Webbrowser control and catching its events would be the optimal choice for designing GUIs....

Yes, you can do just about anything in terms of design... my example above is an ActiveX WebBroswer control...

[vasili111]

I think that topic should include code of that Gui-s and should be moved to "Scripts and Functions"

This sounds awesome. Has anyone made a decent/up to date tutorial for how to make something like this?
The AHK installer uses this method, right? I remember trying to poke around it its code but found that a bit too complex for me.

[joedf]

Sure! I'll try to post a tutorial/Example tonight
