GUI help Topic is solved

[IWantItAll2]

Im having an issue where i cant access my variables in my gui controls, Im pretty new to AHK but this issue is beating me.
i just want to send the value of my edit box as keys. but im told that it never gets assigned a value.
Im sure this is a simple mistake im making but i cant work it out.
TIA

Code: Select all

; Language:       English
; Platform:       Win10

myGUI :=Gui()

	myGUI.Add("Text", "Right Section xs w100", "login")
	myGUI.Add("Edit", "vMyVar")
	myGUI.Add("upDown", "Range1-10", "5")
	myGUI.Add("Button", "Default w80 ys", "SEND").OnEvent("Click", BT_click)
	
myGUI.Show()

BT_click(*)
{
	myGUI.submit(0) ;get variable values
	send %MyVar%	
	return
}

Here it is with a MsgBox. I'm not sure where you expect Send to send it since it doesn't appear that an appropriate place to send it would be active at the time. It just sends it right back to where it pulled it from.

Code: Select all

BT_click(*)
{
	Saved := myGUI.submit(0) ;get variable values
	MsgBox Saved.MyVar	
}

Thanks! that's got it working.
I striped some code out that wasn't important, I had a winActivate on another window to dump the text into.
