return value of input fields

[the_lord_mephy 0]

If i had this:

$input = GUICtrlCreateInput("hi im mephy", 0, 0)

what would the value of the message be?

This has all the looks of another stupid question.

But, I'll humour you, what message? You didn't provide enough information, unless you're just asking an extremely stupid question...

No, in a gui. The thing that you put text in. When you do:

GUIGetMsg()

how are you supposed to find the value of the text they entered

[CyberSlug 3]

GuiCtrlCreate functions return a GUI Reference ID Number Thing. When you want to detect a button click, you compare the button's ID number to the value of GuiGetMsg(). You also use the ID value in functions such as GuiRead and GuiSetState and GuiSetColor.....

However, things are very different if you use Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1)

GuiCreate("Example")

$input = GuiCtrlCreateInput("type here", 50, 50, 200, 30)
$button = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Show input in MsgBox", 50, 150, 200, 40)

GuiSetState()
While 1
   $msg = GuiGetMsg()
   If $msg = -3 Then;GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
      ExitLoop
   ElseIf $msg = $button Then
      MsgBox(4096, "Info", GuiRead($input) )
   EndIf
WEnd
