Hi,

so I know about the wiki, github ahk and the command page
<!-- m -->http://www.autohotke...cs/commands.htm<!-- m --> and of course about the documents but sometimes, if you guys post a script and I look through it, I am thinking "wtf where do they know that from?".

So, is the microsoft page the only page to get more commands/functions and stuff to play around with?

(And aren't there more commands than on the command page shown?)

*Using ahk basic*

People often times make there own Functions(). or use other Libraries (a collection of functions, usually all related to 1 topic) other users make. Or they use DllCall() which can access functions from .dll files (they find the info from and documentation by the people who made the .dll file. weather it's Microsoft or a closet geek). And of course there are other ways to get more commands/functions, such as command-line programs.

It's a matter of searching and knowing where to search.
MS products? Usually msdn.
3rd party programs? Their official site.
AHK function/library? THe topic usually has a link to the docs. If no docs are avail., You'll have to study the source code a bit.

You'll have to study the source code a bit.

I already try that and since I know what it should do it's a bit easier but still
hard to learn it without being able to read it with examples.
