A function is a useful piece of code that you can call again and again from different places with a single command.

Gadgets are all the useful buttons, sliders, tabs, and other elements that make up a user interface. Windows is full of gadgets.

GUIde is a tool for BlitzPlus to make it easy to design a user interface. Instead of guessing what position/size will look best for a particular gadget, you can move them around until you are happy and then output the code that makes them.
