It was difficult enough as a beginner to learn how to use AutoHotkey's Gui command, it's only recently that I've been able to complete/perfect almost everything that I've wanted to do via the Winapi, using functions like RegisterClassEx and CreateWindowEx as a basis, and further functions and window messages on top of that.
Some things that I have seen mentioned occasionally, when doing web searches are:
[WPF]
Windows Presentation Foundation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_P ... Foundation
[MFC]
Microsoft Foundation Class Library - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft ... ss_Library
[MDI]
Multiple document interface - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_ ... _interface
I don't know what exactly these are, or how they might be beneficial.
If you have any simple 'hello world' code in AutoHotkey for WPF/MFC/MDI etc, or any arguments for why we should use them, I would be interested to take a look.
It was basically one post by majkinetor that got me started down the road of GUI proper via DllCall.

So yours could be the next first post. Thanks.
