GUICtrlSetData Question

[TonyP]

I'm trying my hand at my first GUI script but I'm having some trouble... What I'm trying to do is use GUICtrlSetData to change the value of a Input field based on a FileOpenDialog selection and also a FileSelect Folder. But I can't seem to get it to work right because it always returns numbers...

Its probably some stupid error on my part, but I've scoured the forums, the help file, and some other user's scripts who use GUICtrlSetData.

Any ideas?

Yeah the folder selection works fine and the data in the input shows up fine. However, if you look towards the end of the script:

Case $Test

MsgBox(0,"Variable Contents","WIMFile has a value of: " & $FileLocation & @LF & "MountFolder has a value of: " & $FileLocation2)

Case $Mount

ShellExecuteWait("C:\temp\ImageX\imagex.exe", "/mountrw " & $FileLocation & " 1 " & $FileLocation2)

When I run it those two variables have numerical values instead of the location they are suppose to have.

This is what the message box shows. So the parameters for imagex.exe don't work since it doesn't appear to be returning the correct information...

What are you doing? Look carefully at this lines.

$FileLocation = GUICtrlCreateInput("C:\", 8, 32, 321, 21)

$FileLocation2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("C:\", 8, 86, 321, 21)

Then at this.

ShellExecuteWait("C:\temp\ImageX\imagex.exe", "/mountrw " & $FileLocation & " 1 " & $FileLocation2)

$FileLocation and $FileLocation2 is identifiers (controlID)!

Use GUICtrlRead($FileLocation) and GUICtrlRead($FileLocation2).

Ahhh, I see. That did it! Thanks for your help!

Funny thing is, I had just seen some usage of the GUICtrlRead and was trying to figure out if I could use that in this script somehow.

As to what am I doing, I really don't know... Which is why I wanted help... Like I said, first GUI ever... Well besides some C#...

Edit: For documentation purposes I changed this line:

Case $Mount
    ShellExecuteWait("C:\temp\ImageX\imagex.exe", "/mountrw " & GUICtrlRead($FileLocation) & " 1 " & GUICtrlRead($FileLocation2))
