IPAdress not passing input

[mtmartis]

Hi,

Not sure if this should be in the GUI or General Support forum.

I have been unsuccessful in passing the input of _GUICtrlIpAddress_Get to a variable.

After I input an IP Address and click Connect , I want the input to be stored as a variable.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Think about it. Do you really want to read the IP as soon as the control is created? Wouldn't it be better to read it when the button is pressed?

Case $Connect
    $IP = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Get($IPAddress1)
    MsgBox(0,'',$IP)

Gah! I was so close. I thought the logic of it seemed odd, being in new territory, I figured it was entirely wrong.

Thanks for the clarification Admiral!
