	'''~~GUI~~''' ~~stands for Graphical User Interface~~. AutoIt can create GUIs ~~that~~ consist of simple controls.		A '''graphical user interface''' (GUI) is a type of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators such as secondary notation, as opposed to text-based interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation. AutoIt can be used to create GUIs which consist of simple controls.

	== Concepts ==		== Concepts ==

	A GUI consists of one or more windows and each window contains one or more controls. GUIs are "event driven" which means you react to events - like a button that is clicked. You spend most of your time idling and waiting for an event to happen - this is a little different to a normal script where you are in control of what happens and when! Think of it as waiting by the door for the postman - you sit there until a letter pops through the postbox and then you look at the letters and decide what to do with them - this is exactly how GUIs work - you wait for the postman to come to you.

'''GUI''' stands for Graphical User Interface. AutoIt can create GUIs that consist of simple controls.

== Concepts ==

A GUI consists of one or more windows and each window contains one or more controls. GUIs are "event driven" which means you react to events - like a button that is clicked. You spend most of your time idling and waiting for an event to happen - this is a little different to a normal script where you are in control of what happens and when! Think of it as waiting by the door for the postman - you sit there until a letter pops through the postbox and then you look at the letters and decide what to do with them - this is exactly how GUIs work - you wait for the postman to come to you.

Of course, you may choose to do other tasks while the GUI is active - for example you might use the GUI functions to create an elaborate progress box that you update while your script performs complex actions.
