$variable = text?

[Achilles]

Hello... I'm doing this to resize pictures. However I have one problem. I can't get a variable to type what is stands for. It should open paint, go to sketch and skew, then it should send the input value but it's not sending anything. Once again any help would be nice.

GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Insert how many pictures you want resized" & @CRLF & "and then insert the percentage of the new" & @CRLF & "picture compared to the old picture.", 5, 5, 220, 40 )
$numpic = GuiCtrlCreateInput("", 20, 60, 25, 20)

it should be

Send(GuiCtrlRead($Percent))

just reading it isnt going to do anything

and im sure that paint has IDs so you might want to check out control send

Yah, the Send worked great, thanks. I don't really have any idea what the ID's would do so unless you care to explain... but it all works fine now.

control IDs of the boxes so you wouldnt have to do a bunch of send tabs and enters and stuff
