Need help with inputs.

[Nigel]

I need to know how to make what they put in

GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 35, 300, 20)

(The box) to be pressed.

I was thinking something like:

If $msg = $button Then
    Send("$var")

Pretty much, when they input.. lets say '1', and hit the button it will press 1 on the keyboard.

I just need to know how exactly to put it in AutoIt script :|

And if that doesn't make sense to someone, I want it to do this in these steps:

1) They input the number '1'.

2) They hit the Button 'Ok'

3) It presses the number '1' on their keyboard.

This may be a nooby question, but I really need to know this for the program I am making.

Look up the function in question, use the example provided to see how it works.

You might also want to look at ControlSend to send to a specific window / control. The Send() method sends whatever you specify as argument to the currently active window. If you want to use Send(), be sure to first use WinActivate() to activate the right window.

As a side note, your script seems extremely useless and I cannot think of a practical use. I hope it's for practice only ?

You aren't by any chance trying to make a malicious tool are you? Keylogger??

I can see this happening:

You make the program

Someone uses the Input field to put in data (lets say an email and password)

They click on the Submit button

It Emails it to you

Anyways to help with your question, you would need to have it to do this:

Read the Input field, grab the character code(s)

StringToASCIIArray($someVar)

Send those characters

;Not sure if THIS right here works, never tried it
StringToASCIIArray($someVar)

Is the way i would work with it

Your first thinking seems pretty good

$sVar = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 35, 300, 20)
Local $sVar2
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $button Then
        $sVar2 = GUICtrlRead($sVar)
        Send($sVar2)
    EndIf
WEnd

Thats a pretty big question to ask a guy who just wants to read an input field.

@Reloaded, no I'm not making a keylogger. I am making a program that reads an input field and then does a Send command with what is in it :-P.

To everyone else, thank you so much for the help :-D!
