Help with checking/editing Window Edit fields

[rocksolidsr]

I'm trying to edit two fields in a window and I was wondering if it is possible to check to see what those fields are currently and if they are not equal to 20000 then change them to 20000. I have used the window spy to identify the edit fields their controlid's are Edit4 and Edit6. I'm very new to autoit and I know this should be possible, but just can't seem to find out how to do it. I have attached a picture of what I'm trying to edit. Thanks

Use the "Control" functions in the help file. They enable you to change them values without having to move the mouse and manually click on stuff.

Also, there is a tool called "AutoIt Window Info" that you can find in your AutoIt folder(Start menu) that will help you a lot.

I can already change the values but I need to make sure that they were actually changed to 20000, so I need a way to store the original value into some type of variable and check to make sure that it is equal to 20000
