You're best bet would probably be to ask a more specific question here, and people would be happy to assist you Edited April 9, 2007 by Paulie

After I whined about needing GUI examples I pulled my head back out where the sun shines and found some examples that the installation process provided.

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Examples\GUI

Also, as a friend just pointed out to me: Go to your local copy of AutoIt Help (should be a yellow ? icon that the install created), Contents tab, scroll down to GUI Reference. Also under Function Reference, GUI Reference.

Be patient, I find more stuff every day, especially with a little help from the forum.
