here is the script

expandcollapse popup

#include <guiconstants.au3>
$GUI= GUICreate("Rune Tools", 200, 100, -1, -1, -1)
$ExitId = GUICtrlCreateButton("Exit",0,0,50,20)
$Cliku = GUICtrlCreateButton("Cliku",50,0,50,20)
$ArrowStart = GUICtrlCreateButton("Idler",100,0,50,20)
$RuneHq = GuiCtrlCreateButton("RuneHq" ,150,0,50,20)
$mp3 = GUICtrlCreateInput("C:\mp3", 0,20,100,20)
$PlayMp3 = GuiCtrlCreateButton("Play",100,20,50,20)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW) 
WinSetOnTop($GUI, "", 1) 

Global $Paused
HotKeySet("{PAUSE}", "TogglePause")
HotKeySet("{ESC}", "Terminate")

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
    Case $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        exit
    Case $msg= $ExitId 
        GUIDelete()
        Exit     
    Case $msg= $Cliku
        MsgBox(0,"Cliku!", "yee")
    Case $msg= $ArrowStart   
        AdlibEnable("_Send", 10000)
    Case $msg= $RuneHq
        OpenRqFF()
    Case $msg= $PlayMp3
        Run($mp3)
        
    EndSelect

Look at the helpfile. Pay attention to GUICtrlRead().

ok i tryed

Case $msg= $PlayMp3
        Run(GUICtrlRead($mp3))

but that doesn't work is that anywhere near close?

I'd use the Sound functions instead of trying to run it. If you just want it to open in the default player you could try ShellExecute instead.

[Joseph]

ok if i use shell execute how do i make it run the file from the path entered in the text input

[dbzfanatic]

ShellExecute(GUICtrlRead($mp3))

[Joseph]

thanks i got it working

You're welcome. Glad it worked.
