You may find something here:

Put the .agt files in your AGS editor directory and start a new game.

Quotehow can i define a hotkey?

Check the on_key_press function in the global script (Script -> on_key_press) and the manual for keycodes (Reference -> ASCII code table).

BFAQ'ed:

1. Getting that classical Sierra look for GUIs (http://bfaq.terran-x.com/#guis10)
2. Defining custom hotkeys and shortcuts (http://bfaq.terran-x.com/#coding13)

ok. i looked after how can i do my custom GUI. im think i getting undertand it. The links u gave me were also helpful.
i tried all the agt's from the site, but non of them has the white sierra bar what im looking for. an agt (SCI PointClick.agt) is made from the 2nd part of Larry and it could be the right one, but it doesnt work. (error msg and the programm exits).
does anyone have a working version, or there is no another possibility, but i have to make my own white bar?

Hmmm, what version of AGS are you using ?

It's possible that some of the sownloadable stuff are not up to date.

Also, make sure that you're not using the newest betas (teh V2.7 branch), lots of things had been changed and they're probably still being change, so these beta versions are for testing purpose only, not for real game creation at the moment.

That should be the most recent stable version, but I think many of the downloadable resources aren't updated to work with it yet (if they broke after the upgrade of version).
