If you are referring to "Editor Mode" and "Design Mode", my understanding is that you should be saving the GUI as a .session, not just saving the GUI, if you want to work on it later. The Saved sessions are .session versus .ahk. Then you would load the session.
However, I have run into problems with multiple saved sessions, where this feature stopped working for unknown reasons. Even deleting and then unzipping updated versions of AutoGUI didn't help. In those situations, you could import your GUI,
that was saved as a .ahk.
Code: Select all
"File", "Import", and then "Parse Script".
This then works to get back the GUI, where you can play with it in "Design Mode", as long as you saved it as a .ahk. It will not help to recover the .session files created by AutoGUI. I would suggest saving the GUI as both a .session and a .ahk, to make sure that if anything happens, you can always recover it and work on it with AutoGUI later. Just a workaround, I'm sure or hope there is a better way.
