GUI forms/builder for Robotask

* Oleg, I just now saw your note telling me to repost this, as it had been mistakenly deleted. So here it is. Thanks!
First of all - Robotask is amazing, and I think it's the best program of it's kind! Kudos to the developer
That said, I've always wondered why there aren't any automation programs like this that also have the ability to create custom Windows forms with "drag and drop" controls? (controls that interact with Robotask logic), and then compile to standalone distributable .exe files.
The recent addition of the ability for Robotask to create a small custom input form is a big step in the right direction! But it would be great to be able to create custom full-screen windows with a bigger selection of controls (inputs, buttons, text forms, combo boxes, radio buttons, checkboxes, images, etc etc). Alternately, instead of offering a "drag and drop" form builder, you could just allow users to create custom forms via HTML/CSS/JS with a built in text editor. Either way, it would be an amazing addition to Robotask.
Nothing quite like this currently exists (that I'm aware of). The closest thing I've found to what I'm referring to would be using the 'Adventure' IDE (which contains a Windows form designer) with AutoHotKey. But AHK isn't anywhere near as polished or professional as Robotask.
This sort of functionality would allow non-developers to basically create full-blown software apps without having to code, and would then open up Robotask to a HUGE new market, in my opinion.
