1st of all, a big THANK YOU for AHK ! I really love it.

(This is not a big problem, but sometimes it produces bugs - due to AHK's nature to accept undefined variable names)

The g- and v-Label characters in a line like

Code:

Gui Add, Edit, vNewText gCheckText,

CheckText:
GuiControlGet v ,, NewText
return

avoid the ability to do refactoring-like replacements over the sources.
(Nor can I select the variables name by double clicking it)

So I would love to have an additional syntax like

Code:

Gui Add, Edit, v:NewText g:CheckText,

Good one!

PS:

Maybe also,
hwnd:Pic1
c:FFFFFF

x y w h are alphanumeric and hence good.

I support it...especially if optional...

Maybe also...color:FFFFFF...c is nice & short, but color is fine too...

...I support it & don't...maybe x y w h should still work as-is, but also as x: y: w: h:...or even equals instead of colon (for all of this, not just x y w h)...

This is a good idea. I often am frustrated by not being able to select a variable name by double clicking. Also I can't think of any ill effects of implementing this, I don't think it would break old scripts.

The reason why your gLabel isn't working, is because the gLabel of an edit control is activated by typing in it. Text,List(Box|View),DropDownList,TreeView,Button,Checkbox,Radio,Monthcal, and many other controls are activated via clicks of the left mouse button.

Also, I don't see the advantages of using a colon.. I like it just fine the way it currently is.

i support, and agree with SKAN, this would be useful for eyes and editors. There might be a problem tho, as : is valid as a g-label character.

Actually, everything is valid as a g-label except for the escape character ` :shock:

(and whitespace of course). Limiting labels to reasonable characters needs to be on the wish list too. :roll:

Any character, maybe. "Everything" is a bit of a stretch - obviously the label mustn't match hotstring/hotkey syntax. There are also a number of characters no line can begin with - i.e. continuation characters.
