IniWrite from FileOpenDialog info?

[cyanidemonkey]

Can anyone tell me why I can't write the file path information to an .ini file retrieved from the FileOpenDialog?

When the test MsgBox pops up it shows the FileOpenDialog path ok.

It writes to the .ini if i manually type the file path in.

I've tried adding focus to the text field, and wrapping the FileOpenDialog() in a String() to make sure it's a string but it diddn't work.

$var = ""
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("find file", 470, 300, 120)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btn2, "FindFile")
Func FindFile()
$var = FileOpenDialog("Choose file...","C:","All (*.*)", 1 + 2)
GUICtrlSetState($DFpath, $GUI_FOCUS)
GUICtrlSetData($DFpath,$var)
;testing message
MsgBox(0, "wot tha...?","$var = " & $var)

IniWrite("settings.ini","config","DFpath", $var)

EndFunc

try

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini", "config", "DFpath", $var)

this works

#include "GUIConstants.au3"

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)       ;0=disabled, 1=OnEvent mode enabled


GUICreate("MY GUI")
$var = ""
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("find file", 100, 230, 120)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btn2, "FindFile")

$btn3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("find ini", 100, 330, 120)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($btn3, "Findini")


GUISetState()

while 1
    sleep(20)
wend

Func FindFile()
$var = FileOpenDialog("Choose file...","C:","All (*.*)", 1 + 2)
;GUICtrlSetState($DFpath, $GUI_FOCUS)
;GUICtrlSetData($DFpath,$var)
;testing message
MsgBox(0, "wot tha...?","$var = " & $var)

IniWrite(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini","config","DFpath", $var)

EndFunc



Func Findini()
    MsgBox(0,"test read", (iniread(@ScriptDir & "\settings.ini","config","DFpath", "not found")))
EndFunc
