Am I going nuts? What am I doing wrong?

[scripterman]

Hello.. I would appreciate if someone could help me out, I think I'm going crazy..

I was writing a quite simple script, in a form of many other scripts I have written.

It consists of a simple GUI with some fields and a button, when the button is pressed some calculations are being made, and I get something in an Edit Control. But it's like when I press the button, the values that are passed are "insane"..

I've tried debugging it, so I started stripping any calculations and useless stuff. The simplest form I've gone to is the following:

expandcollapse popup

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>


$Form1 = GUICreate("", 400, 400)

$hLblA = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Input Α =", 16, 72, 99, 23)

$InputA = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 120, 72, 73, 21)

$hLblB = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Input Β =", 16, 104, 98, 23)

$InputB = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 120, 104, 73, 21)

$hLblC = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Input C =", 16, 144, 84, 23)

$InputC = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 104, 144, 49, 21)

$hLblD = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Input D =", 48, 176, 52, 23)

$InputD = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 104, 176, 49, 21)

$hBtn = GUICtrlCreateButton("Button", 248, 112, 89, 33)

$hEdit = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 96, 256, 225, 129, BitOR ($ES_MULTILINE, $ES_READONLY))

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)


While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
            
        Case $hBtn
            
            GUICtrlSetData ($hEdit, $InputA)

    EndSwitch
WEnd

As you can see, the code is very straightforward, when the button is pressed, I should just get in the edit control box what I entered as Input A.

BUT the output is a bit crazy. I leave the field empty (or I type anything), and as soon as I press the button, I get "4" in the edit control.

Please, tell me, am I going crazy? Or is there anything VERY simple that I'm overlooking?

Try this GUICtrlSetData ($hEdit, GUICtrlRead($InputA))..

Try this GUICtrlSetData ($hEdit, GUICtrlRead($InputA))..
