Phoenix Studio

Main window: design view with a control selected and the Properties inspector filled in

The generated program running (AutoIt window)

How it works

From design to program in three steps

You design

Drag controls from the toolbox, align them with the guides and tune everything in the properties inspector.

It's generated

Every change writes the code into a plain .au3. Events add functions with the right name and never delete yours.

You run and compile

Run with one key, check with Au3Check and compile to a 32 or 64 bit .exe from the project options.

The code is yours

Real AutoIt, not a black box

Phoenix Studio writes the design inside marked regions. Everything else is yours, and the IDE respects it.

The IDE

; Phoenix Studio writes this (simplified excerpt)
Global $hForm1 = GUICreate("My first window", 320, 160)
$inpName = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 16, 16, 200, 24)
$btnHello = GUICtrlCreateButton("&Hello", 224, 16, 80, 24)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btnHello, "_btnHello_Click")
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $hForm1)

You

; You write only this
Func _btnHello_Click()
    MsgBox(64, "Hello", "Hello, " & GUICtrlRead($inpName) & "!")
EndFunc

Illustrative example: in your projects the generated code includes more detail (fonts, sizes, constants).

No typing the repetitive parts

Right-click, and the code appears

Right-click in the editor: the menu offers to insert code for the window or any control, and a library of snippets sorted by topic. Pick one and it is written into your program, at the cursor.

Here it is: right-click, pick the control and the action, and the code is written.

Editor menu listing the form and its controls — The form and every control, with their events and functions ready to insert.

Editor menu showing the library topics — Over 12,000 AutoIt snippets by topic, and Ctrl+J to search.

Everything you need

A complete environment for AutoIt windows

Visual designer

Drag, resize, align with guides and a grid, set the Tab order by clicking, undo and redo, and zoom in.

A full palette

Labels, inputs, buttons, lists, combos, tabs, ListView and TreeView, menus, tool and status bars, RichEdit, calendars, sliders, IP address and more.

Properties inspector

With purpose-built editors for lists, columns, menus, images, tree nodes, SQL and INI keys. No raw grids.

Fearless events

Pick an event and a function with the right name is added. The IDE only adds functions: it never deletes yours.

Code editor

Syntax colors, autocompletion, a code library, find and replace, rename, a variables panel and Au3Check errors underlined as you type.

Run and compile

One key to run, another to compile to a 32 or 64 bit .exe, with icon, version and output folder from the project options.

Projects and templates

Multi-window projects with their main program, and ready-to-use window templates.

Import what you have

Open an existing AutoIt script and keep working on its window visually.

Data

SQLite-bound controls and a grid showing real records while you design, plus reports.

Screens

See it from the inside

Click any screenshot to see it large.

Tool palette with collapsible categories, and the Structure tree following the selection

ListView with groups in the designer (Groups, GroupView and AlternateRows in the inspector)
