Noob help with some simple gui code

[Dezypher]

Hello all im a new user to the gui part of autoit....i have a few questions and i was hoping that you all might be able to help me out with. what i am trying to do is create a gui with a few variables that are input feilds adn then call the variable later...just playing with the gui stuff, trying to figure it all out...anyway here is my code that im working with:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <Date.au3>

GUICreate("Keith's GUI") ; will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$Button_1 = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Test",  150, 25, 100)

GUICtrlCreateLabel("SR", 26, 28)
$casetype=GUICtrlCreateCombo("", 45, 25, 37)
    GUICtrlSetData(-1,"Z|Q|S|X", "X")
$casenumber=GUICtrlCreateInput("", 85, 25, 50)

GUISetState (@SW_SHOW)    ; will display an empty dialog box

; Run the GUI until the dialog is closed
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select 
    Case $msg=$GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            ExitLoop
        Case $msg=$button_1
            MsgBox(4096, "Test", "SR"&$casetype&@MON&@MDAY&$casenumber, 10);, 80, 80, 300)
    EndSelect
    
Wend

now what i should get is SR(either x, s, q, or z based on the values in the drop down box)0801 (the date of today)and then some random number from the input box. what im getting is sr50801 thats it...can someone help me with this

thanks in advanced...

$casetype and $casenumber are the numerical identifications for the controls themselves, they are not the values that the controls are displaying or have selected.

You need GuiCtrlRead($cas...), Have a look in the help because the way GuCtrlRead works depends on the control type.

It's the same as setting the data where you have used GuiCtrlSetData and not $case.. = something.
