During the webinar yesterday someone mentioned working with Multi-dimensional arrays. I thought I’d go ahead and post my template of nesting objects within objects and talk through it in the hopes that it helps.
Here are a list of the functions I used:
ExploreObj from Learning one
ObjectToString from Capn Odin
m() from Maestrith (Author of AHK Studio)
Nesting an Object within an Object in AutoHotkey
Here is the code that I work through Nesting an Object within an Object in AutoHotkey
