Get text from a text box, translate it to a varible, and insert the varible into a func

[Yata]

Hello.

I'm a novice with AutoIt, but I do understand a majority of the language. The problem I'm running in to is this:

I need to first take two strings of numbers from two different input boxes, and then move those two strings to a variable to be used in place of normal numbers in a function.

I'm working with this UDF http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=20121 and I want to allow users to be able to type in a width (first string) and a height (2nd string) and have those two things substituted in place of the first two numbers in the function.

I have no idea how to do this, and trying to connect the dots is confusing me. I can put it into words, but not code.

If someone could please help me with this I would appreciate it greatly.

Thank you.

You could use inputboxes.

$Value1 = InputBox("New setting","Enter Width")
$Value2 =  InputBox("New setting","Enter Height")
functionToCall($value1,$value2)

Or if you are using inputs (GuiCtrlCreateInput) then read the values from them like this

$Value1 = GuiCtrlRead($input1)

Thanks. That put me on the right track and I got it working.
