I want to be able to use the edit box to set a variable, I'm wondering how to do this

Here's my example script right now:

Code:

Variable1= 10000
Variable2= 30000

Gui, Font, S10 CDefault, Verdana
Gui, Add, Button, x376 y112 w100 h30 , Exit
Gui, Add, Button, x266 y112 w100 h30 , Start
Gui, Add, Text, x156 y52 w100 h30 , Description1
Gui, Add, Text, x266 y52 w100 h30 , Description2
Gui, Add, Edit, x156 y82 w100 h30 , %Variable1%
Gui, Add, Text, x376 y52 w100 h30 , Description3
Gui, Add, Edit, x266 y82 w100 h30 , %Variable2%
Gui, Add, Edit, x376 y82 w100 h30 ,
Gui, Show, x308 y363 h152 w485, New GUI Window
Return


GuiClose:
ExitApp

ButtonExit:
ExitApp

ButtonStart:
msgbox Variable1 is %Variable1%


Right now I can edit what is in the boxes, but it won't be saved.

Hi, Tsincaat,
have a look at my corrections:
Code:
Variable1= 10000
Variable2= 30000

Gui, Font, S10 CDefault, Verdana
Gui, Add, Button, x376 y112 w100 h30 , Exit
Gui, Add, Button, x266 y112 w100 h30 , Start
Gui, Add, Text, x156 y52 w100 h30 , Description1
Gui, Add, Text, x266 y52 w100 h30 , Description2
Gui, Add, Edit, x156 y82 w100 h30 vedit1 , %Variable1%
Gui, Add, Text, x376 y52 w100 h30 , Description3
Gui, Add, Edit, x266 y82 w100 h30 , %Variable2%
Gui, Add, Edit, x376 y82 w100 h30 ,
Gui, Show, x308 y363 h152 w485, New GUI Window
Return


GuiClose:
ExitApp

ButtonExit:
ExitApp

ButtonStart:
Gui, Submit, Nohide ; NEW
msgbox Variable1 is %Variable1% ; your original code
msgbox, %edit1% ; NEW
return ; NEW

In your original code you display at the label ButtonStart the content of the variable Variable1, not the content of the edit control. I inserted a variable definition for that edit control "vedit1". Don't forget the "Gui, Submit, Nohide" before working with the edit control's variable. And don't forget the "return" at the end of a label's code.
Hope I could help,
Klaus

%edit1% to this %Variable1% back?



i have nearly same problem with mine script.

my example is:

Gui, Add, Edit, x196 y110 w40 h17 vinput13, %StamHeal_Hotk%


SetStamHealHK:
Gui, Submit, NoHide
MsgBox,,, Stamhotkey = %input13% ,1


MsgBox,,, Stamhotkey1 = %StamHeal_Hotk% ,1
Gosub Save

when i change my hotkey the new variable is %input13%
but my whole script part is using %StamHeal_Hotk%
can i also set a new variable from %input13% to %StamHeal_Hotk% ??

1. You may use the same variable for input, as the one that you display, as in Gui, Add, Edit, vVariable1, %Variable1%
2. You may use AHK's assignment as always (variable1:=edit1)

I have created a shorter test script, see if this explains it:
Code:
#SingleInstance Force

Variable1 = 10000

Gui, Add, Edit, w200 vVariable1 center, %Variable1%
Gui, Add, Button ,wp gButtonStart, Submit
Gui, Add, Button ,wp gButtonCancel, Cancel

Gui, Show,, New GUI Window

Return

GuiClose:
GuiEscape:
   ExitApp
Return

ButtonStart:
   Gui, Submit, Nohide
   MsgBox Variable1 was modified and is now [%Variable1%]
Return

ButtonCancel:
   MsgBox Variable1 was not modified and is still [%Variable1%]
Return
