Browsing some of the Ask for help posts I could not help but think: "Are some of the examples and suggestions being given to questions not too advanced?” Not that the advice or suggestions are wrong, or do not help, I have learnt a lot from other peoples questions.

I have put together some truly ugly stuff in the past, 100+lines of code to “manually” send an email via gmail from an unoccupied pc and it worked … eventually. Only to find 6 weeks later that someone did the same in 8 lines of code and you can be working on the pc while it does this.
Would the email function have helped me in any way when I was working on my program? – Yes. Would I have learned anything from it? – Not a chance, I am still not sure I understand what the function is doing but I use it.

Maybe I am just not normal…

It's like using a library. You don't always know how it works, but at least you don't need to "reinvent the wheel". ;)

grant, I mildly agree with you. I've seen many people 'help' (as you kinda stated, it's not really helping if they can't understand it :P) people and give them complicated code for a simple task. need help with a hotkey? here's a single-line hotkey using a complex ternary! it works perfectly. Or you know... just spread it out to 6 lines using if/else so it's readable for a beginner.

But it's also as joedf said. sometimes you don't need to know how it works to use it. Just use it. and with time you might someday understand it.
rawr. fear me.

I mostly try to use the code style the Person posted in their topic but without any code in the post it is kinda tough to do that.

That's very true... especially when they're just basically making requests without even wanting to learn... :(

@tidbit & @Alguimist - Autohotkey GUI Designer / GUI Creator / GUI Whatever

Isn't it better to work together on 1 full featured, bug free GUI Designer / Creator instand of 20 different ones?

New GUI Designer:
- Alguimist's AutoGUI
- tidbit's GUI Buildeer Deluxe

Old GUI Designer:
- Rajat's SmartGUI Creator
- nothing's X-Gui Creator
- maestrith's Basic GUI creator
- maestrith's GUI Creator

Would be nice if I see you both working on 1 tool and maybe lexikos can ship this tool later with the installer (as optional) if it's nearly finished.
Would be helpful for every new ahk beginner
