HWTK GUI TOOLKIT Studio
Does anyone know how to use HWTK studio to develop guis? I can't get my head around the positioning of buttons and text boxes so was hoping the HWTK gui toolkit doesn't seem to have anything like that in it. When I click file, all it offers me is Exit.... which isn't exceptionally useful.

Hwtk is very easy to used
You should read sample codes in
start.all programs.altair hyperworks 2017.tools.hwtk gui toolkit

Cheers Tinh,
Hope you are well.
Yea, mine doesn't seem to have any options. All I get is a demo panel which shows me the various widgets and the code (assigned to those buttons) but nowhere to position buttons or read in code.
Maybe there were more options I needed to click when installing the software and this is just a basic demo version?
Cheers
Andy

What do you mean by 'position button'?

Perhaps I am not fully understanding what the GUI builder is meant to do but ideally I would like a tool to position buttons and text boxes as I am struggling with the pack commands in my scripts - I've added a pic to demonstrate my problem.

Ok, I see
In case you want to position widgets in both row & column, use grid command
if using pack, you need to pack label and entry in a sub frame, then pack subframes top side down
Or you can use place command - the most freely-positioning command

Many thanks Tinh. I'll give it a go.
