Some updates:
A lot of changes has been done to the CCF recently. Most focus on making the CCF code cleaner, work more reliable and predictable. I started writing a
CCF specification which the code should fulfill. The next milestone to be expected is a complete spec with all classes fully compatible to it. ComGenerator will then be continued to make it spit out spec-conform code. The goal: a CCF being able to regenerate and extend itself in an automated way.
World domination, here I come 
Anyone interested is welcome to contribute to the spec (and of course the CCF in general).
hoppfrosch has also started contributing to the CCF, and when looking at his repo, it seems there's more to come. Thanks a lot, hoppfrosch!
With the latest v2 commit, there was a change that might break or fix existing scripts (if any): The behaviour of object cloning was changed.
Quote:
To create a shallow copy from an instance, ...
- do not use obj.Clone(), it might do something totally different (most likely: create a new object from a new underlying COM instance).
- use obj._Clone() to create a copy which has an increased reference count, so releasing either the original or the clone should not affect the other.
- use ObjClone(obj) to create a copy which has the original reference count. Releasing either the original or the clone will make the other stop working.
Generally, it should be noted that CCF classes might (unintentionally) override builtin methods because an interface defines a method with the same name. This can be circumvented by using the function style (
ObjClone(obj)) or by prefixing the method name with an underscore (
obj._Clone()). Note that the latter is not guaranteed to work, however, it's unlikely an interface defines such a method.
The versions for v2 and _L have recently diverged a lot, an update to the _L version is planned for the weekend.
Also, there's a branch "UIAutomation" in work, which will extend AHK's possibilities a lot. The Microsoft UIAutomation framework enables access to the UI in a standardized way, it works for regular controls, WPF, HTML, ...

Edit: I did not forget the tutorial, I plan to update it and add an example. Might take some more time though.
Edit 2: Anyone who writes working examples using the CCF is welcome to add those. Just fork on github, PM me or post here.
