Storing a value of an input box to a notepad file

[sunlord]

Say I have an input box in my GUI, how do I make it so that whatever I type in the input box gets stored in a new notepad file?

That will store the edit box text when you press the button.... how does that work for you?

EDIT: Bah th.meger beat me to it

Thank you. And also is there a way to send this notepad file to an e-mail? I'm trying to make a program which sends "To-do" notes that I make directly to my e-mail.

Hi,

and why storing first into an file?

_INetSmtpMail

So long,

[sunlord]

What does that do?

[Jos]

What do you think it does ?

[sunlord]

I guess it sends something over e-mail but how exactly do I use it with my example?

What about stop guessing and open the helpfile which has all the info you are asking for ?

Let us know when you have questions about the info found ..

[sunlord]

For a General Help and Support forum, not so helpful. Thanks anyway. I'll have a look at it and get back to you.

Excuse me ?

Think the average responsetime has been pretty good.

We pointed you to the food... now you want us to serve it for you as well or are you a big enough to get it yourself.

When th.meger said _INetSmtpMail it wasn't very clear (atleast to me) what that does, so I asked to explain what exactly the function does to which the reply (I thought) was rather rude. If you want all AutoIt newbies to learn AutoIt just by going through the help file then you might as well just shut this site down. I thought the whole point of this forum was asking help and answering questions anyway? I'm not asking you to do my code for me, as you suggested, I was just asking to explain what that particular function is for.

I think this is the point they were getting at. If you opened the help file and looked up the function in question, you would have seen the description below.

_INetSmtpMail

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sends an email without using an external email program.

I understand what you want and to my knowledge have been all but rude to you.

This was the answer I gave you: Open the helpfile and look up the function and read.

This would have been rude: Shut the hell up and open the damn helpfile where you can read all the shit you want to know.

Now see the difference ?

I will not resort to that kind of language unless you are really asking for it ...

I'm sorry but this,

isn't a very helpful response. You could have just told me what it does. It would have taken all of 2 minutes of your time. Thanks anyway. Lets just end this.

Thanks for understanding I am going through more effort then really needed just to help you, but :

the underlying message is that we have a pretty good helpfile that explains build-in functions and User Defined Functions and all have an example.

Glad you appreciate the effort

Can I ask you how you find out what your SMTP server is; I can't find the instructions for it anywhere on the helpfile?

Sure... That should point to your (EMail) providers SMTP host, like you would have in OutlookExpress or something.

If you want to use GMail you will need to use the _INetSmtpMailCom() function I posted in the Examples forum because GMail hosts requirs Authentication..

Hi,

depends on your email "provider" have a look at google for it. hotmail, gmx smtp !

So long,
