GuiCtrlRead() Not returning variables as string?

[Opie]

I'm currently making a program for a user to send emails to multiple mail servers (aol, gmail, yahoo, etc). For this I am using Jos's SMTP UDF located here:

I have tested this UDF without a GUI by directly inputting needed information and it works, phenomenally. So i decided to make a GUI version because not everyone is going to have AU3 installed.

In the GUI I am using GuiCtrlRead() to return the values directly to the variables needed for sending the mail. I've done this for dozens of programs I've made in the past and this is the first one to ever give me a hard time. It's as if the GuiCtrlRead() function isn't returning the proper type of variable or just nothing at all.

Any help as to why the heck this is happening would be much more than appreciated. I have been stressing over this for a few days D:

PS My background with Autoit3 is about 1 year of constant coding plus background with java, VB6, C++ and a few others.

Below is a screenshot of the error.

Here is the snippet of code I am using to grab the needed value, etc etc.

Think about when you are reading the controls, before the main-loop, before the user have had a chance to write anything, long long before you are interested in what is currently in them.

To make it simple, what you need to do is to move your GUICtrlRead()'s to the _vSend() function

I have no idea why i've been missing that :OO

Thanks so much for pointing it out for me

AdmiralAlkex you're a great guy ^__^
