Get the data from

[notprodigy]

Okay, i seem to be having some trouble with a small bit of code.

basically i just have a small GUI with a combo box, and you pick a number from the combo box and hit the 'go' button. it works, but i dont know how to make it read the value from the combo box

here is the part that is giving me trouble

MsgBox(0, "Beta", "Click 'Okay', And I'll tell you what you put!") 
MsgBox(0, "Info", "You Picked " & $Combo1.????????)

Always, always ... GUICtrlRead

[notprodigy]

C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\random.au3 (29) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".:

MsgBox(0, "Info", "You Picked " & $Combo1.GUICtrlRead)

MsgBox(0, "Info", "You Picked " & $Combo1^ ERROR

use anything like this

FileWriteLine("test.opt", "" & GUICtrlRead($Items))

this piece writes a line with the data in $Items into the file test.opt.

use anything like this

FileWriteLine("test.opt", "" & GUICtrlRead($Items))

this piece writes a line with the data in $Items into the file test.opt.

ahhh thank you!

MsgBox(0, "Beta", "Click 'Okay', And I'll tell you what you put!")

MsgBox(0, "Info", "You Picked " & GUICtrlRead($Combo1))

that works perfectly. Hats off to you!

no problem i actualy know how hard it can be as newbe. :-D

one more small little question.

how can i divide a number?

like, i have a sleep in miliseconds, and i want to say like

$time = GUICtrlRead($Input3) / 1000

MsgBox (0,"I will sleep for " & $time & " seconds")

doesnt work, although i cant see whats wrong with it.

Help appreciated!

edit, there was no shortcuts here, i had to do this the long way

MsgBox (0,"I will sleep for " & GUICtrlRead($Input3)/1000 & " seconds")

works fine.

Are you completely wacky or something?

This:

$time = GUICtrlRead($Input3) / 1000
MsgBox (0,"I will sleep for " & $time & " seconds")

And This:

MsgBox (0,"I will sleep for " & GUICtrlRead($Input3)/1000 & " seconds")

Is exactly the same thing, but neither work! Don't you actually try your code before posting?

Both give "ERROR: MsgBox() [built-in] called with wrong number of args.", but that should be obvious how to fix. Then which one you use is up to you.

If GUICtrlRead($Input1) < 60000 then
                MsgBox(0, "Info", "Delay is currently set to " & GUICtrlRead($Input1)/1000 & " second(s)")
                else
                    MsgBox(0, "Info", "Delay is currently set to " & GUICtrlRead($Input1)/60000 & " minute(s)")
                    endif

using 10000 for the first one and 300000 for the second.

the error you get is because i wrote that code in like 4 seconds off the top of my head and it is missing the title of the message box

MsgBox (0,"TITLE OF MESSAGE BOX", "I will sleep for " & $time & " seconds")
