  please help............   ;  As a beginner, it probably isn't a great idea to try write your own GUI. GUIs are quite tricky. You might be better off googling and finding one written for you. Unfortunately I have no suggestions, I haven't really used any in the kind of depth it would require to make a recommendation.   ;Quote:Original post by rip-offAs a beginner, it probably isn't a great idea to try write your own GUI.
