Input Variable problems

[BALA 0]

I have this code that will open the Run window input some text. Problem is that it's not sending out the right text from the input controls; instead it sends out a 5 and 6. Any ideas on why this is happening?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)
GUICreate("BA-MERGE", 240, 160, -1, -1, -1, $WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
GUISetState()

GUICtrlCreateLabel("Type in the path of the GIF you want to use.", 10, 10, 220, 40)
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Type in the path of the file you want to use.", 10, 60, 220, 40)

$inputgif = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 30, 220, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)
$inputfile = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 80, 220, 20)
GUICtrlSetState(-1, $GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

$merge = GUICtrlCreateButton("Merge", 10, 100)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($merge, "Merge")

Func CLOSEClicked()
    Exit
EndFunc

Func Merge()
    Send("#r")
    WinWaitActive("Run")
    ControlSend("Run", "Type the name of a program, folder, document, or Internet resource, and Windows will open it for you.", "", "cscript.exe hide.vbs " & $inputgif & " " & $inputfile)
EndFunc

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

You need to use GUICtrlRead on your input variables.

Right, I can't believe I was that stupid.
