input

[spuri]

I am very new to autoit, but I am on half way with my program. I could figure out directory listing and dropdownmenu, I hope I will find dosrun but I can't get my inputbox value. How could I get Input1 value?

...
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 28, 125, 345, 22)
...
$project = GUICtrlRead($Input1)
Msgbox(0,"test",  $project )
Msgbox(0,"test",  $Input1 )
...

GuiCtrlRead is the proper function for capturing GUI input. Post the whole script and we can help find the problem.

Use the included inputbox function and then you will not need the GUICtrlRead to read the value of your inputbox.

$input1 = InputBox("Blank input","Input something here:",'','','', 28, 125, 345, 22)

MsgBox(0,'',$input1)

GUICtrlRead is the proper way to read it, but its impossible to tell whats wrong without your full script.

Kerros is right :

$input1 = InputBox("Blank input","Input something here","The text you want to read","","", 28, 125, 345, 22)

MsgBox(0,"Read InputBox","The text write in inputbox is :"&$input1)

Just use the constant of your inputbox

thanks inputbox works with Kerros's example butnot with GUICtrlCreateInput

$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 28, 125, 345, 22)

GuiCtrlRead($Input1);Read the input

You are right but I need to copy ACL so probably xcopy is the answer and I still can not get the $Input1 value.

why this does not work?

Func NewClientClick()
    $project = GUICtrlRead($Input1)
    Msgbox(0,'test',  $project )
EndFunc

I get this

should this variable be global?

I get this (12) if I changed the code as below

Func NewClientClick()
    GUICtrlRead($Input1)
    Msgbox(0,'test',  $Input1 )
EndFunc

You are not looking at the right input box. In your code, the input you are looking for is on line 39. If you delete line 44, and assign input on line 39 to $Input1 [e.g., $Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 40, 168, 337, 22)], everything works OK.

$RunP = RunWait( @ComSpec & " /c xcopy D:\_TemplateProject_0000\CLIENT D:\test\" & $client & "\ /T /E /O" )
    Msgbox(0,"project-test",  $RunP )
