Autoit Math

[xZZTx]

Ok i just want to make a simple GUI Calculator but i don't know how to get autoit to read it as math

like if u do

$var1 = 5+5 then $var1 returns 10

but if u use a gui input and try and rerun it it just returns same thing u typed

$var2 = GUICtrlCreateInput ("",10 ,20 , 200, 20) and u type 5+5 into it it will return 5+5

is there anyway todo like $var2 = Math(5+5)

You can use Execute() for that:

GUICreate("Extremely simple calculator", 320, 120)
    
    Dim $var  = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 30, 300, 20) 
    Dim $btn = GUICtrlCreateButton("calc", 40, 75, 60, 20)
    Dim $msg
    
    GUISetState()
  
    While $msg <> -3
        $msg = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $msg = $btn
                MsgBox(0,'', Execute(GUICtrlRead($var)))
        EndSelect
    WEnd
