input bar help

[genbadger]

Hey there! I have an issue that has been plaguing me. I am trying to retrieve the text typed into an input box, but it returns "Network name here". I need it to be what ever the user types into the box. Here is the code. I also have a file for the code.

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

#include <EditConstants.au3>

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

#include <StaticConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form2 = GUICreate("MyNetwork", 429, 212, 494, 236)

$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Make a new Network", 8, 16, 145, 33, $WS_GROUP)

$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Start", 8, 56, 145, 33, $WS_GROUP)

$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Stop", 8, 96, 145, 33, $WS_GROUP)

$Button4 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Refresh", 8, 136, 147, 33, $WS_GROUP)

$Button5 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Status", 8, 176, 145, 33, $WS_GROUP)

$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Network name here", 160, 24, 241, 21, $ES_NOHIDESEL)

$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("password", 160, 64, 241, 21)

$Checkbox1 = GUICtrlCreateCheckbox("Hide characters", 160, 88, 113, 17)

$Label1 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Name of Network", 160, 8, 200, 17)

$Label2 = GUICtrlCreateLabel("Password (min. of 8 characters)", 160, 48, 200, 17)

$str1 = GUICtrlRead($Input1)

$str2 = GUICtrlRead($Input2)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg =$Button5

run("cmd")

WinActivate ( "cmd" )

sleep ( 500 )

send("netsh wlan show hostednetwork")

send( "{enter}")

Case $msg =$Button1

run("notepad")

WinActivate ( "notepad" )

sleep ( 500 )

send("netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow ssid=" & $str1 )

Case $msg =$Button3

run("cmd")

WinActivate ( "cmd" )

sleep ( 500 )

send("netsh wlan stop hostednetwork")

send( "{enter}")

Case $msg =$Button4

run("cmd")

WinActivate ( "cmd" )

sleep ( 500 )

send("netsh wlan refresh hostednetwork")

send( "{enter}")

EndSelect

WEnd

Exit

Hey mate,

GUICtrlRead() will only read the control at the point you call it. you need to put this line:

$str1 = GUICtrlRead($Input1)

after the case statement on line 38
