Having issues with GUICtrlCreateInput

This is what I've gotten so far and I'm completely stuck.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>


Local $GUI = GUICreate("GUI", 560, 160)
Local $button = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 10, 120, 160)
Local $input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 40, 160)
Local $input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 80, 160)
$input1text = GUICtrlRead($input1)
$input2text = GUICtrlRead($input2)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW, $GUI)


While 1
   Switch GUIGetMsg()
 Case $button
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Title", "You have written " & $input1text & " and " & $input2text)
 Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
   EndSwitch
WEnd

I want the MsgBox when I press the button to output what I've written in the two inputboxes, but it won't "save".

I noticed that if I enter text in between the "", like this:

Local $input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("HERE", 10, 80, 160)

It works, how do I do?  :ermm:

You're reading the inputbox before you actually enter anything into it. Put these lines after the Case $button line.

Case $button
    $input1text = GUICtrlRead($input1)
    $input2text = GUICtrlRead($input2)
    MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Title", "You have written " & $input1text & " and " & $input2text)

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.
