Noob Needs Some Help

[aoc153]

Hey,

I'm making a program that requires a form to be filled out. I'm trying to make a GUI form that has an input box to put your name and a done button that will change the name variable in the code... but it isn't working correctly... here's what I have:

$varname = "xxx"

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
$Form1 = GUICreate("Set Name", 339, 305, 243, 118)
$Done = GUICtrlCreateButton("Done", 136, 152, 75, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 136, 208, 75, 25)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Name Here", 120, 88, 121, 21, -1, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        Exitloop 
    Case $msg = $Done
    $varname = $input1
                Case $msg = $button2
                 exit
    Case Else
    ;;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd

; Test if the variable changed
Msgbox(0, "Test", $varname)

Anyone see whats wrong with this? The message box shows "5" no matter what I enter in the input box ><

Any Help is greatly appreciated
