Tremendous! Thank you, this gives me something to tinker with!

But see that would make too much sense!

Hello, I'm trying to make a form window that is constrained within another form (inside of the red square). I've tried so many different things that I can't remember now. Is it possible? Edit: I'm thinking maybe a watch dog that will stop movement of the window once it reaches the boundary? But then again, I'd like for the window to be cut off by the tab if it moves too far to the right or bottom.

Actually, that is super cool. I've been working on a GUI builder for AutoIt for quite some time and was wondering if this was even possible! Dang, looking again ... I'm not sure this will do quite what I need. What I'm hoping for is to have a main window that has a toolbar and a blank canvas so to speak where a gui can be designed and it's restricted to that main window.

Fixed an issue where you had to switch tabs after opening to make it start working.

Hello! I'm getting this error: (493,26) : error: _WinAPI_GetCapture() already defined. Func _WinAPI_GetCapture()

Finally! Latest version in the OP. Huge shoutout to Jos because I leaned very heavily on his AutoItGotoDefinition (you did write that I assume?).

Latest version! Works on AutoItObject methods now! A big shoutout to ioa747 too!

Thank you! You gave me the inspiration to get it working again. Regular calltips work but the ones for AutoItObject methods don't at the moment for all use cases.

Meh, still has issues. I'm done with this.

Latest update! Check it out!
