Newbie Gui Creator

[Descention]

I very much would like to create my own Dungeons and Dragons Character Sheet using the Au3 Gui. I started making one, copy and pasting and a lil editing to make it the way i want. So far so good, but i need some help with things like knowing if i can get the progress bar to update while the Gui is running.

i want to add a number to an existing variable and have it read that number out in a tab and show progress on the progress bar... maybe if you check it out it'll make more sense, cuz i dont think my talking does.

Thank you for checking it out and it's not done yet, this is from 2 hours of playing around.

I went back and did some editing to your scripts. I change add exp to set exp. I would have did it for add but it is late and I don't do figuring that well when it is late. So take a look, marked the areas I change with ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
