why doesnt this work

[mintydremora]

why doesnt this script work all it needs to do is write what is written in the input box into notepad

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>

GUICreate("test",200,200)

Local $words, $msg, $gobutton, $write

$gobutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("go",90,90)

$words = guictrlcreateinput("",90,70,90,20)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

$write = GUICtrlRead($words)

While 1

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $msg = $gobutton

run("notepad.exe")

Send($write)

EndSelect

WEnd

That's easy to explain -> $write = GUICtrlRead($words) reads an empty input box!

#include <GUIConstantsEX.au3>
GUICreate("test", 200, 200)
Local $words, $msg, $gobutton, $write
$gobutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("go", 90, 90)
$words = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 90, 70, 90, 20)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg = $gobutton
            $write = GUICtrlRead($words)
            Run("notepad.exe")
            WinWaitActive("[CLASS:Notepad]")
            Send($write)
    EndSelect
WEnd
