How to imput value and save like a variable

[GersonSevero]

Sorry if the question it's so easy, but i'm learning recently how AutoIt works =) 

In my script, I need to show a GUI for the user, after the user insert a number,
and then I need to save that number in a variable to use, for example, write that number in a notepad.

I'm waiting for answer. 
Thanks

and then I need to save that number in a variable to use, for example, write that number in a notepad.

GuiCtrlRead() should do that, so show what you have that isn't working.

This is an example of my problem.

The number that the user inserts, need to be write in the notepad

MsgBox(0, "Teste", "Programa de Automação de Simulações")
Run("notepad.exe")


$Name = InputBox(Default, "Insira o Módulo de Resiliência[1]: MPa", "","", Default, Default, Default, Default, 10)

Why do you need to write the number to Notepad? Couldn't you simply write the number into a file and then call Notepad to display the file?

In fact, I have to imput that number in another program used in civil engineering, but the value have to be the number that the user inserts =) 

I thought to create this imput box, and after the user insert that number, write that number in the program, using MouseClick informing coordinates etc.

I really apreciate your answer, you will help me to make my completion of course work. =)

More reliable than to use MouseClick is to use ControlSend. This is not always possible so you should run the AutoIt Window Info tool to see if it returns any information about the control in the other program.
