Easy-Auto-GUI-for-AHK-v2 VS ahk2_lib

- Easy-Auto-GUI-for-AHK-v2 I combined EasyAutoGUI(ahkv1) with AHKv2 Scriptconverter with a little custom code to make it output ahkv2 - Google-Bard-for-AHK-v2 I combined a python google bard chatbot library (premade) with a simple GUI from autohotkey so users can make autohotkey scripts that query bard

I did very little work, just weaving the two solutions together. All the work was done by the creators just mentioned. Conversion happens when selecting "Save" or "Save as", command line parameters launch, read log for script path, and convert as ahkv2converter does. Full Solution. https://github.com/samfisherirl/Auto-GUI-for-AHK-v2

I started using value := {x: "y"} after going through thqby's converted libraries for ahkv2. to be clear Im not indicting thqby's libs, but my understanding on why they are syntactically compliant. Specifically: https://github.com/thqby/ahk2_lib/blob/master/WinHttpRequest.ahk https://github.com/thqby/ahk2_lib/blob/master/Socket.ahk

I doubt thqby's CGdip.ahk would work for my v1 scripts. :/ :)

[https://github.com/thqby/ahk2\_lib/blob/master/Socket.ahk](https://github.com/thqby/ahk2_lib/blob/master/Socket.ahk) That said, the use case described fits best a WM\_COPYDATA , is not only the standard way of doing it but also easy and unencumbered. I personally use this for when I need to communicate between scripts (and I just fixed a typo): [https://gist.github.com/cd70e009792fc2eb866f9f5caf1e395a](https://gist.github.com/cd70e009792fc2eb866f9f5caf1e395a) That is v1.1, but porting to v2 should be a problem.

Also, checkout the MCode for a callback in WebSockets (v2.0, v1.1 port), that is next level thinking.

I recently got word (thanks to u/RoughCalligrapher906) from these two projects: WebView2 (by thqby, another crazy guy of whom I have a crush #NoHomo), and Lexiko's winrt.ahk which is sort of wrapper for Windows Runtime that might be worth to look into.
