Heya Foks!

I got BlueGUI (No Never! lol), and I want to be able to do this.

I have a simple username and password box with a button.

When the user clicks on the button, I want to grap the information that has been entered from the username and password box, and saved into a file.

I know how to create a file but I don't know how to grap the current information in the box.

I tried the getgadgettext,
grapinfo=getgadgettext(UsernameBox)

But got a cannot perform interget cast on type @$S1

Any tricks of the trade to get around this?

Many Thanks In Advance.

Cheers

The 'grabinfo' variable needs to be a string. Either put a dollar sign at the end of the variable name, eg: grabinfo$, or define in thus:

local grabinfo as string

Or use:
grabinfo=val(getgadgettext(UsernameBox))

And for making the edit gadget have a password character (such as only asterisks are visible), use this function:

Note that you first have to load user32.dll like this:

Hi Xolatron,

He is trying to get a username and password, not a number out of the edit box.

Hey guys, about 10 minutes after submitting that question I manage to find out how to do it(Well I knew how to in the first place but my code was somewhat wrong)

Anyway, Thanks for your support, I'm glad to be using such a poweful program!

I just thought that his password might be just numerals allowed if he was trying to store it into an integer. The string method is definitely better and more secure, though

Yep, BluegGUI is great. I can't believe I even thought about not buying now that I use it so much, thanks Rob K .
