WEnd

Func OKButton()
  Send("#r")
  WinWaitActive("Run")
  Send("firefox.exe")
  Send("{enter}")
  WinWaitActive("Mozilla Firefox Başlangıç Sayfası - Mozilla Firefox") ; firefox opening page in turkish langauge

#include <IE.au3>
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("test", 260, 100)
GUICtrlCreateLabel ("put your address here:" , 10, 10, 200, 25)
$put_1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 30, 180, 25, $GUI_DISABLE)
$do = GUICtrlCreateButton("test", 10, 65, 90, 25)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 12, 600)
GUISetState()

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
    If $msg = $do Then
        If GUICtrlRead ($put_1) = "" Then
            MsgBox (-1, "info" , "you did not enter your web address")
        EndIf
        If GUICtrlRead ($put_1) <>"" Then
            _IECreate (GUICtrlRead ($put_1), 0, 1, 0, 0)

yes this works. i will work on it. thank you

instead of :

Send("#r")
  WinWaitActive("Run")
  Send("firefox.exe")
  Send("{enter}")

could've used:

ShellExecute("Firefox.exe")

and yea its easier with IE...

hmm now I have a question can _IEnavigate be used to operate FireFox?

[star2]

this is only a test example for you to be able to use the

GuiCtrlRead ()

this is your solution and my example is not meant to be used on all PCs it serves your question on how to use the text entered in the input

No, you can't, but if I remember correctly then there was a .dll in Example Scripts section for controlling firefox.
