I have attached a new tool I created in GLBasic, MenuMaker. This is a simple WYSIWYG tool for creating in game GUIs. You can drag and drop build your GUI then save it to a csv file to easily import into games.
Hope someone can make some use of it; and any feedback is always appreciated too.

Great, always wanted something like that. Will have to look at in for sure :-)
Can you make a quick video that explains how to use it? (in your own game then)?
Wow! Glad to see a few people downloaded it. Would love feedback of any kind, but especially bug reports and desired features.
@Gernot,
I wouldn't mind doing a short video tutorial, but I have never done this before. Do you know of any good software I can use to do this; preferably something that is free?
=============================================
I've replaced the attachment above with an updated release. The new release fixes a bug that was occurring while writing files. If anyone has already created a menu and saved it off you will find an "Open Old Files" option in the File menu. This option will open the old broken files correctly; then the next time you save it the file will be fixed.
I have also added an option now that allows users to resize the workspace canvas to any size. By default it is 480x320 (this resolution was chosen as the default because the majority of the work I do is for the old iPhone3g in landscape mode, but I know that is a bit too restrictive for everyone :)
Here's a thread about what to use for capturing video:http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=7149.0 (http://www.glbasic.com/forum/index.php?topic=7149.0)
It seems that "fraps" is the best.
CamStudio is free
I used it briefly looks good ....
Thanks for the tips. I'll try out CamStudio first since it's free :)
I'll get a video together and posted; probably won't be until this weekend. I need to get a new build of my game out to an artist this week and I'm already behind schedule :(
