Never coded anything in autoit before but I've read about it so figured it was the way to go for this simple task.

I just need to make a basic script for my OpenVPN.

All I want it to do it is to simply click reconnect then fill password and click OK

$var_1 = "MyUsername"
$var_2 = "MyPassword"
MsgBox( 0, "Reconnecting OpenVPN", "Trying to reconnect openVPN", 30)
ControlClick("OpenVPN Connection (anonine)", "", "[ID:164]")
Sleep(2000) ;two seconds
ControlSend("OpenVPN - User Authentication", "", "[Class:Edit1]", "$var_1")
ControlSend("OpenVPN - User Authentication", "", "[Class:Edit2]", "$var_2")
Sleep(2000) ;two seconds
ControlClick("OpenVPN - User Authentication", "", "[ID:1]")
MsgBox( 0, "Reconnecting OpenVPN", "Done!", 30)

For a first script that's one of the best I've seen to date, but you don't describe your problem.

One thing that seems off is that you seem to use the CLASSNN, but specify CLASS for your edits.

If your issue is that the username and password are not being set, try to replace [Class:Edit1] and [Class:Edit2] with:

[CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1] and [CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:2]

or

[CLASSNN:Edit1] and [CLASSNN:Edit2]

Sorry, totally slipped my mind to describe my problem, but you are correct.

It was not filling in the username and password but [CLASS:Edit; INSTANCE:1] worked like a charm!

The variables did not work though, but easy fix was to change them to the real username and password.

It was just writing in $var_1 & $var_2. Really don't care if it uses them or not.

It's not like I plan to expand the script or anything.

Thanks a bunch Tvern!

When you describe variables with "" they don't get used, whatever goes inside the "" is just output as text, if you want to use the variables, then just take the "" out

For instance:

msgbox(0,"test","$variable1") ; gives a messagebox with the text $variable1
msgbox(0,"test",$variable1) ; gives a messagebox in which the text is the actual content of the variable

With "" the variable itself gets recognized as text, instead of it's contents

EDIT: typos... must wake up...
