$HRForm = GUICreate("AForm1", 257, 194, -1, -1)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Length", 5, 5, 37, 17)
$HRLength = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 5, 23, 245, 21)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Thickness", 5, 53, 53, 17)
$HRThickness = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 5, 71, 245, 21)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Color", 5, 99, 28, 17)
$HRColor = GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 5, 117, 245, 100)
GUICtrlSetData($HRColor,"aqua|black|blue|fuchsia|gray|green|lime|maroon|navy|olive|purple|red|silver|teal|white|yellow","aqua")

$HROK = GUICtrlCreateButton("OK", 119, 146, 61, 25, 0)
$HRCancel = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cancel", 188, 146, 61, 25, 0)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $hrmsg = GuiGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $hrmsg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        GUIDelete($HRForm)
        ExitLoop
        
        Case $hrmsg = $HROK
        GUIDelete($HRForm)
        msgbox (0,"",'<HR WIDTH="' & GUICtrlRead($HRLength) & '" SIZE="' & GUICtrlRead($HRThickness) & '" COLOR="' & GUICtrlRead($HRColor) & '">')
        ExitLoop

        Case $hrmsg = $HRCancel
        GUIDelete($HRForm)

Because of the GUIDelete. If you don't to the GUI to be shown when the

MsgBox pops up just hide it first with GUISetState, or you could read the

values to variables, delete the GUI and then show MsgBox.
