How to read and write text on Edit

[yellowpower]

I have created a GUI with two Edit and one button, when the button is pressed, I would like to have my code start reading the data in one Edit and write data into another Edit.

Is this possible?

Could someone show me the syntax for reading and writing data onto Edit?

Thanks

Post your code. Will be a lot easier to help! Unless you never tried the help that comes with AutoIt!

GUICtrlSetOnEvent($Button1, "CodeConverting")
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")


GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

GuiCtrlRead() on the first edit will give you the contents of the first edit.

GuiCtrlSetData() can be used to push those contents into the second edit.

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

GUICreate("test", 500, 200)
$input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("This is edit 1", 10, 10, 450, 20)
$input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("... edit 2 ...", 10, 40, 450, 20)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Copy contents of edit1 into edit2", 10, 80, 450, 20)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg == $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    If $msg == $button Then
        $contentOfInput1 = GUICtrlRead($input1)
        GUICtrlSetData($input2, $contentOfInput1)
    EndIf
    Sleep(10)
WEnd
