Issue with _GUICtrlIpAddress

[Hylia]

I wanted to make a GUI form for inputting an IP and Port to then connect to the server that has that IP, however, when I use GUICtrlRead on $cl_IP (which is an IP input box), I get 0 eventhough it should give me 127.0.0.1, what am I doing wrongly here?

; Connect to IP
$MainForm = GUICreate("Server Starter", 158, 113, 192, 124);
$cl_IP = _GUICtrlIpAddress_Create($MainForm, 16, 16, 130, 21);
_GUICtrlIpAddress_Set($cl_IP, "127.0.0.1")
$cl_Port = GUICtrlCreateInput("1018", 56, 44, 49, 21, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT,$ES_CENTER));
$bStartServer = GUICtrlCreateButton("Connect", 40, 72, 75, 25);
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW);

msgbox(0, "", GUICtrlRead($cl_IP))

While 1

    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
         Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit;
         Case $bStartServer
            $IP = GUICtrlRead($cl_IP);

Thanks that did the trick, I assume GUICtrlReadData doesn't work properly for an IP Input box then?

Hylia,

 I assume GUICtrlReadData doesn't work properly for an IP Input box then?

Correct. In general, GUICtrl* functions only work on controls created by the native GUICtrlCreate* functions which return a ControlID - these controls are tracked internally by AutoIt. To interact with controls created by the UDF functions (those preceded by an underscore), you usually need to use other UDF functions - as is the case here.
