GUI to take dates, add data to another program

[RedShirt 0]

Good afternoon! I wanted to get some ideas from the community, as this is my first AutoIT program, and I'm wanting to make sure I'm on the right track before I spend a ton more time on this. Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions.

Why this program is written:

We currently receive reservation requests from customers to reserve equipment for class on days X, Y, Z from time A to time B. Time A & B will not change for these dates; however the dates will vary. We then manually type in all these dates, times, etc. This program will be used to minimize typing.

My program will:

• Present an interface where users can choose any number of dates (X, Y, Z, etc.) from today into the future; typically no more than 6 months.
• They will also enter a start time (A) and end time ( for the reservation
• When done, they will hit "Submit" or OK
• This will count the number of dates selected (Q - if needed?)
• This will close the GUI and transport this data to another program running in RDP.
• It will send the following to this program in RDP:

• Alt-N (pause) Tab Tab (etc) Paste the first selected date X, paste the start time A, enter.
• Alt-N (pause) Tab Tab (etc) Paste the first selected date X, paste the end time B, enter.
• Alt-N (pause) Tab Tab (etc) Paste the second selected date Y, paste the start time A, enter.
• Alt-N (pause) Tab Tab (etc) Paste the second selected date Y, paste the end time, enter.
• repeat this process until either the counter (Q) runs out, or all the selected dates are used.

Attached is what I have so far. I need to know how to pass the data from the GUI to the app running in RDP. I also need to add the "Start Time" and "End Time" global variables (i know how to do that, just cleaning up the code on the dates right now).

Thanks again!
