Simple question regarding EditBox

[Doxie]

How can i do so the info that is typed into a EDITBOX

is saved into a .ini file?

I know this might be very easy, but i'm lost

$edit_1 = GUISetControl("edit", "Edit 1", 40, 40, 110, 20)

GuiShow()

While 1
    sleep(100)
    $msg = GuiMsg(0)
    Select
    Case $msg = -3
        Exit
    Case $msg = 0
       ;;;
    Case $msg = $edit_1
;;;
    EndSelect
WEnd

This will show a Editbox, but if i use iniwrite $edit_1 it only type a 3???

Thanks in advance

Of course i meant InputBox

Of course i meant InputBox

You wrong, you are trying to retrieve info from and "input" control.

That can be done with GuiRead($edit_1).

BTW your example is incomplete as a Gui need to be create with GuiCreate before defining controls.

yea i know its incomple, since i thought everyone knew you had to make GUICreate

Well i found out how to do it myself.

This is "part" of the code i used.

Case $Msg = $butsave
    $PDA = GuiRead($EPDA)
    $Printer = GuiRead($EPrinter)
    $SPrint = GuiRead($EPrint)
    $Dept = GuiRead($EDept)
    IniWrite($inventory, "Inventory", "PDA", $EPDA)
    IniWrite($inventory, "Inventory", "Printer", $EPrinter)
    IniWrite($inventory, "Inventory", "SPrint", $EPrint)
    IniWrite($inventory, "Inventory", "Dept", $EDept)

And its working really nice aswell

EDIT

This is the working code

Case $Msg = $butsave
    $PDA = GuiRead($EPDA)
    $Printer = GuiRead($EPrinter)
    $SPrint = GuiRead($EPrint)
    $Dept = GuiRead($EDept)
    IniWrite($inventory, "Inventory", "PDA", $PDA)
    IniWrite($inventory, "Inventory", "Printer", $Printer)
    IniWrite($inventory, "Inventory", "SPrint", $SPrint)
    IniWrite($inventory, "Inventory", "Dept", $Dept)

"Combo" control can simulate a dropdown menu

see GuiSetControl and GuiSetControlData to initialize the list and GuiRead for retrieving the selected entry
