I only need an integer value out of the text field, but it will only pass a string. Is there a way can I do this?

Value = GadgetText:String(Level1_Width1_Input)

Ok nevermind. I figured how to cast the string to an integer.

edit: too late ;)

Value=Int(GadgetText(level1_width1_input))

Basically GadgetText returns a string. Then you can cast it to whatever.

ps:

'converting' a string number in a number depends on the way you write/type it (in italian we use comma to separates integers and decimals, in other nations the 'dot' and so on)
So - the string from the button - should be checked depending on the result you want.

Import maxgui.drivers


Global window:tgadget=		CreateWindow("Main",100,100,300,300,,WINDOW_TITLEBAR|WINDOW_CENTER)
Local but:Tgadget=CreateTextField(10,10,150,25,window)

Repeat
	WaitEvent()
	
	Select EventID()
		Case EVENT_APPTERMINATE, EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
			End
		Case EVENT_GADGETACTION
			Select EventSource()
				Case but
												Print "But : "+GadgetText(but)+" Int: "+Int(GadgetText(but))+" Float: "+Float(GadgetText(but))
			
			End Select
			
	End Select
Forever

Thanks for the reply. Yes it's a dot for me. I noticed it can be cast to a float as well so that I can enter decimal fractions.

Just a small reminder : the string type has its own conversion

-> MyString.ToInt() / ToFloat() / ToLong() / ToDouble()
