[NegativeNrG]

Im working on my Text Editor and i dont know how to save the WHOLE text written in the EDIT box.

heres my Sample code:

$Form1 = GUICreate("Simple Text v0.1", 477, 299, 199, 129)
$Edit1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 32, 465, 249, -1, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
GUIctrlsetdata($Edit1,"")
$menu = GUIctrlcreatemenu("File")
$item1 = GUIctrlcreatemenuitem("Open",$menu)
$item = GUIctrlcreatemenuitem("Save As..",$menu)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
       $msg = GUIgetmsg()
        Select
     Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
ExitLoop

Case $msg = $item
[b]$save = FileSaveDialog("Save To..","C:\","Text Documents(*.txt)",16)[/b]
FileWrite($save,$Edit1)

Try this!

#Include<GuiConstants.au3>

$FORM1 = GUICreate("Simple Text v0.1", 477, 299, 199, 129)

$EDIT1 = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 8, 32, 465, 249, -1, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)

GUICtrlSetData($EDIT1, "")

$MENU = GUICtrlCreateMenu("File")

$ITEM1 = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Open", $MENU)

$ITEM = GUICtrlCreateMenuItem("Save As..", $MENU)

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1

$MSG = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $MSG = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

ExitLoop

Case $MSG = $ITEM

$SAVE = FileSaveDialog("Save To..", "C:\", "Text Documents(*.txt)", 16)

FileOpen($SAVE, 2)

FileWrite($SAVE, GUICtrlRead($EDIT1))

FileClose($SAVE)

Case $MSG = $ITEM1

$OPEN = FileOpenDialog("Open..", "C:\", "Text Documents(*.txt)", 16)

GUICtrlSetData($EDIT1, "")

GUICtrlSetData($EDIT1, FileRead($OPEN, FileGetSize($OPEN)))

EndSelect

WEnd
