Execute($func) works on some some, not others?

[idusy]

$GUI=GUICreate("",170,85)
GUISetState()
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Input function to execute.",25,5)
$Input=GUICtrlCreateInput("",30,25,100)
$Execute=GUICtrlCreateButton("Execute",60,50)

While 1
$Msg=GUIGetMsg()
$InputRead=GUICtrlRead($Input)
If $msg = -3 Then Exit
If $msg = $Execute Then Execute($InputRead)
If @error Then MsgBox(0,"Error","Function could not be executed.",1)
WEnd

That pops up a GUI with an input box, you input a function and press Execute, it will run the function. It works for some function, like Beep() and MouseMove(), but doesn't work for others. I though at first it was an issue with quotations, but then I tried Shutdown(64), and that returned with an error as well.

Anyone know what could possibly be causing this?

I hate bumping, but I really would like to know the answer to this

Environment, Files, Dir, Disk, GUI, InputBox, MsgBox, Misc, Network, Obj/COM, Process, Registry, Tray, WinKill functions implying deletion or modification will not be executed. They will set @error to 9999 and return "".

$GUI=GUICreate("",170,85)
GUISetState()
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Input function to execute.",25,5)
$Input=GUICtrlCreateInput("",30,25,100)
$Execute=GUICtrlCreateButton("Execute",60,50)

While 1
$Msg=GUIGetMsg()
$InputRead=GUICtrlRead($Input)
If $msg = -3 Then Exit
If $msg = $Execute Then Execute($InputRead)
If @error Then MsgBox(0,"Error","Function could not be executed. #" & @error,3)
WEnd

now test with this and you will see the error set to 9999

Bleh, I even read that before and it didn't sink in... Well, that makes much more sense now. Thanks. Edited July 7, 2007 by idusy
