How to easily add a GUI to your script | AutoHotkey GUIs are easy

In this video I show how I easily add a GUI to my script for searching for help. A while back I'd published my original script for searching various sites. Now that I've worked through our Intro to GUIs with AutoHotkey course, I'm easily adding some GUIs to my scripts. :)

TLDR: The key idea of the video is to demonstrate how to add GUIs to AutoHotkey scripts, specifically focusing on adding a search function and modifying the GUI elements.

2. 01:05 💡 The script has a built-in GUI that allows the user to easily turn certain features on and off, with options for font size, checkboxes, text input, and buttons.

3. 02:02 💡 You can easily add a GUI to your script by using a "v" in front of variable names and using the "gui hide" command after running it.

4. 02:44 💡 Use AutoHotkey GUIs to easily add a flexible search function to your script, allowing you to save preferences and avoid repetitive searches.

5. 04:06 👉 The code in the description gives a discount for the introduce course, and the specific lectures in the course are helpful for understanding and implementing certain features.

6. 04:44 📝 The speaker demonstrates how to add a group box and modify the font and size in an AutoHotkey script to enhance the GUI.

7. 05:51 💡 The speaker explains how to encode URLs in order to pass through the HTTP protocol.

8. 06:29 💡 Adjusting xy coordinates and leveraging previous positions can help in adding a group box and moving elements around in AutoHotkey GUIs.

I'm pretty new to AutoHotkey. May I know how do I "activate" GUI in my original script? Do I need to to set any hotkey to make the input box in the above example appear, or it need to be a standalone script that need to use hotkey to activate that script? Thank you.
