Getting Input From User With GUI

[myxomatosii]

hi guys, i am working on writing a script to automate a browser game, i am pretty new to gui's (i wrote my first one yesterday with help from this forum), I'll post my code then tell you what I was trying to do.

dim $nl1, $nl2, $nl3, $nl4, $info1, $info2, $info3, $info4
Func cityinput()
    GuiCreate("city ID's.")
    GuiSetState(@SW_Show)

    GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Input City1 ID Here.",20,10)
    $info1=GUICtrlCreateInput($nl1,20,30,100,20)

    GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Input City2 ID Here.",20,60)
    $info2=GUICtrlCreateInput($nl2,20,80,100,20)

    GuiCtrlCreateLabel("Input City3 ID Here",150,10)
    $info3=GuiCtrlCreateInput($nl3,150,30,100,20)

    GUICtrlCreateLabel("Input City4 ID Here.",150,60)
    $info4=GuiCtrlCreateInput($nl4,150,80,100,20)

    Sleep(10000)

    MsgBox(0,"test",$info1 & $info2 & $info3 & $info4,0)
EndFunc


cityinput()

ok i wanted to make a gui that stayed up for a few seconds (i'll figure out how to make it wait for me later) while i input the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 in their respective boxes $info1,$info2,$info3,$info4

i made a msgbox to return values in order to test the results i was going to get to see if i was doing it right

however

the msgbox returns 46810 every time instead of 1234, what am i doing wrong?

my ultimate goal for this concept is to use the GUI to *extract* the cityids from the browser, or memory or however i figure out to do it

Try GuiCtrlRead($info1) instead

$info1 is the handle of the control while GuiCtrlRead($info1) is the value typed inside

... no worries - it happened to alot of people Guess it is the most frequent mistake.

cityinput()

fixed! works. how would i go about making it wait for my input instead of giving myself only 5 seconds? perhaps by creating a button to select when all are finished, or a checkbox by each

other than that i am boggled at how i would extract information from the browser, but i guess that is a different topic needing more description
