hi - im new to autoit and i got allready a question

how to change the button-text in a loop?

i got a start button - if i click it, it changes the caption to stop - but if i click again, it stays on stop..

can someone help me please?

my code sofar

Dim $buttontext = "start"
$startbutton = GuiCtrlCreateButton ($buttontext,110,50,70,20)
        
        

GuiSetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit
    If $msg = $startbutton Then
        If $buttontext = "start" Then
       GUICtrlSetData($startbutton, "stop")
       Else
        If $buttontext = "stop" Then
       GUICtrlSetData($startbutton, "start")
        EndIf
        EndIf
    EndIf
WEnd

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
Dim $buttontext = "start"
GUICreate("")
$startbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton($buttontext, 110, 50, 70, 20)
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then Exit

its a bit difficult to learn the syntax - but i think im gonna love autoit for dev - a great "little" tool it is! (and looks like a nice community too )

The syntax is quite easy actually... a bit more logical than others I've played with IMHO.
