As I feel that any further discussion about the documentation of Gui names is probably a waste of my time, I'll only say (paraphrase) this once more: What was formerly a "Gui number" can now be non-numeric. That is more or less the extent of the "new behaviour."

Then Gui SomeGuiName:New, SomeOtherName?, hwndVar would be possible, since that's how Gui works.
I will take it under consideration.
Just click "Download" on github.
AFAIK, it adds just two context menu items for folders. If that's too much for you, give up or get the portable version.

Thanks for your answer, Lexicos. so will it be possible to change the text of the help file in the GUI topic under the Label point. May be you can change :
by or something like that !!!
Thanks again for the good work.

...that's how Gui currently works, it doesn't have to be supported or documented like that in the future. Tacking a number (& now a name) on the front of a Gui command was likely a "quick hack" to make it work, we don't have to continue down that path. Design a syntax that looks good & makes sense, not one that handles all the old possible cases.


...but OK, that gets me the files to edit, but then how do I "push" the changes back to you?

Did you look at how my Gui_New() behaves? I think I like the result of it.

I see no good reason to change it.
I believe you are mistaken.
I'm sure you can think of something. I only need the files, or a diff/patch.
No. Now I have. If I implement Gui New, it will likely use the same syntax as Gui Show.

...because it looks better/cleaner?


...in what way?


...OK, that makes it easier...I thought you wanted a GitHub pull request.


...the current syntax of my Gui_New() is mainly cuz it's a function...& I didn't wanna parse out vSomeName from the options. I'm quite happy with my function, but it would still be a good idea to create a built-in Gui, New so everyone else can start off making Gui's the right way. People are always confused creating Gui's...especially multiple Gui's. I can only help them, on the forum, after the fact, since I can't improve their default learning experience, by creating built-in commands/functions. I will, however, get started on the Docs tho.

Your personal sense of what "looks good" is not sufficient justification to change the current syntax. It looks fine to me.

imo current Gui behavior is fine
