Gui is a reserved keyword, so u should have gotten a very different error long before that

Code: Select all

G := Gui.New()
G.Add('Edit', 'vEdit1', 'asdffasf')
NamedCtrlContents := G.Submit()
MsgBox NamedCtrlContents.Edit1

@swagfag

Code: Select all

G := Gui.New()
G.Add('Edit', 'vEdit1', 'asdffasf')
NamedCtrlContents := G.Submit()
MsgBox NamedCtrlContents.Edit1

The four lines of code are still reporting errors as belove.

version：Version 2.0-a108-a2fa0498

if you're going to use an old version, then you need to use the correct syntax for that old version

with a108 you need to use GuiCreate() function.

Gui.New() wasn't added until a112:

Code: Select all

G := GuiCreate()
G.Add('Edit', 'vEdit1', 'asdffasf')
NamedCtrlContents := G.Submit()
MsgBox NamedCtrlContents.Edit1

Thank you!
I don't know if swagfag and guest3456 are the same person,I should accept one answer to mark the topic as Solved.

[swagfag]

then accept the one that solved it(if any)

always specify versions, unless ure running the latest one. otherwise, the latest is assumed
