Need to borrow Jaws Of Life.......

[ThaSatelliteGuy]

Yes.... Could someone loan me a Jaws-of-Life so I can pry my head out of my @$$!!!

Please tell me why I can't get this to return the value I type in the box!! I know it's stupid, but I keep staring at it, and I'm brain farting!

GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Enter Work Order Number:",20, 250)

$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("",30,270,100,20)

MsgBox(0,"",$Input) ----- Returns Integer (Expected)

$WONUMARRAY[$Cnt] = GUICtrlRead($Input)

MsgBox(0,"",$Cnt & $WONUMARRAY[$Cnt]) ---- Also Returns Integer ----- WHY???

WAIT!!! The second integer is my counter!!!! - - $Cnt

Got that!

So Why then is it returning NOTHING

So it's not an integer, it's blank, but it should be returning my typed in value right?

You have to read the value of the variable before you can use it.

You have to read the value of the variable before you can use it.

Isn't this line reading it??

$WONUMARRAY[$Cnt] = GUICtrlRead($Input)

In the sample you have provided the Input control is empty. So when you read it its will be.......

Untested sample:

GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Enter Work Order Number:",20, 250)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("Geting this?",30,270,100,20)
GuiSetState()
MsgBox(0,"",$Input) ----- Returns Integer (Expected)
$WONUMARRAY[$Cnt] = GUICtrlRead($Input)
MsgBox(0,"",$Cnt & @TAB &  $WONUMARRAY[$Cnt]) ---- Also Returns Integer ----- WHY???

EDIT: You need a GuiSetState() in there to

you beat me to it but I felt I still had to post

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("My GUI")  
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("Enter Work Order Number:",20, 250)
$Input = GUICtrlCreateInput("",30,270,100,20)
$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Ok", 40,  75, 60, 20)

GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)      

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    If $msg = $btn Then 
         $test = GUICtrlRead($Input)
        MsgBox(0,"",$test)
    EndIf   
    
Wend

does this help?
