Title: Scripted GUI Development
Post by: redneon on March 31, 2005, 02:02:19 PM

I have an A1200 which I'm still using to play games from the HD using WHDLoad. I'm wanting to make a small GUI menu type system so I don't have to go into each folder all the time. Preferably I'd like to use a scripting language, object orientated if possible (although for such a small project it's not necessary). I've never used REXX before but I'd like to learn it so are there any GUI addons which work with REXX? If not, can someone suggest an alternative?

Cheers,

Darrell

Look on Aminet, there are loads of GUI creation tools.

The most notable ones probably are AWNPipe and MuiRexx.

AWNPipe is a pipe-like device which allows to create a GUI using ClassAct (or ReAction on OS3.5+). It can be used from any scripting language because it is operated by smple read and write commands. You can even use the Echo command to create a GUI.

MuiRexx lets you create a MUI GUI from ARexx. It is probably the most powerful tool.

Thomas

rxmui.lha (http://main.aminet.net/util/rexx/rxmui.lha) is said to be ok.
