error with my script - help!

[skippynz 0]

its been a while since ive had to post but heres the low down - Im wanting to export a list of users from groups in AD - i found a script here which does that but i wanted to modify a bit by putting in a gui etc. my problem is with the $GROUP1 = GuiCtrlCreateInput("Group Name", 45, 30, 300, 20) and $GROUP_NAME = GUICtrlRead ( $GROUP1 ) lines as when i use an input box the script works as it should

this is the error i get - " Export.au3 (61) : ==> Variable must be of type "Object".: "

the line the error occurs on is $objGroup.getInfo()

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstants.au3>

GuiCreate("OU_Location", 390, 110,-1, -1 , BitOR($WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, $WS_CLIPSIBLINGS))

$QUESTION = GuiCtrlCreateLabel('Please enter the name of the group you would like to export below?', 35, 10)
$GROUP1 = GuiCtrlCreateInput("Group Name", 45, 30, 300, 20)
$AKL = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Auckland", 5, 55, 75, 20)
$HLZ = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Hamilton", 80, 55, 75, 20)
$WLG = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Wellington", 155, 55, 75, 20)
$CHC = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Christchurch", 230, 55, 75, 20)
$DUN = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Dunedin", 305, 55, 75, 20)
$NZ_NATIONAL = GuiCtrlCreateButton("NZ National Group", 130, 80, 125, 20)


$GROUP_NAME = GUICtrlRead ( $GROUP1  )

GuiSetState()

    $msg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        ExitLoop

when i run the script i get the gui ok - no problem there but when i enter in a value in the GuiCtrlCreateInputon the gui and press a button to runthe function it just errors - when i used the inputbox command it had the vaule there straight away so worked no worries

i tried with $GROUP_NAME = GUICtrlRead ( $GROUP1 ) as part of the case $msg = $akl etc but that didnt make a difference

PS this is the entire script if you change the OU=GROUPS,OU=AUCKLAND etc it should work for you if you are on a domain. also would need to change $strContainer = "cn=" & $GROUP_NAME & "," & $OU & " ,ou=nz, " to be correct also...

dont worry found that i tried putting the $GROUP_NAME = GUICtrlRead ( $GROUP1 ) back into the case $msg=$akl and its working this time. not sure why it didnt before.... thanks

Don't you want to read the input control AFTER the operator hits a button?

I think you should move "$GROUP_NAME = GUICtrlRead($GROUP1)" to the top of the Export function:

Func Export()
     $GROUP_NAME = GUICtrlRead($GROUP1)
     GuiSetState(@SW_HIDE)

     ; The rest of the function
EndFunc ; ===> Export

Edit: Doh! Beat me to it!
