Using GUICtrlCreateinput and using the user's input

[SniperSA]

I want to first find out how to get the program so lets say the user types in the input box i want the program to run notepad.exe and type the input. So how could i put $msg = $input and tell it to type what is in the box?

look at Guictrlread, and the run function the help file

ok well first i tested the GUICtrlRead and i told it to send input's data to a notepad, that worked. but now i was trying to make a GUICtrlCreateCombo and i put in my data. so when i test to see if it reads whats in the combo box and it says "3"

#include <GUIconstants.au3>
GUICreate("Script Select",200,200)
$1337 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("AIM Send",0,0)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Check Email|Check Myspace|Find X,Y|Starcraft Start")
$ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run Script",0,20)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        case $msg = $ok
            GUICtrlRead($1337)
            Msgbox(0,"Test",$1337)
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
    WEnd

something like this

#include <GUIconstants.au3>
GUICreate("Script Select",200,200)
$1337 = GUICtrlCreateCombo("AIM Send",0,0)
GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Check Email|Check Myspace|Find X,Y|Starcraft Start")
$ok = GUICtrlCreateButton("Run Script",0,20)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        case $msg = $ok
            Run("notepad.exe")
                WinWait("Untitled -")
                ControlSetText("Untitled -", "", "Edit1", GUICtrlRead($1337) )
            Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
    EndSelect
    WEnd

well, i see that it works but lets say when AIM Send is selected i would want it to run a code, as an example you could use Msgbox(0,"AIM Send","Test")

what you mean run a code? like a program, if so check out the Run() command in the helpfile
