Try this

Code: Select all

#SingleInstance Force
global Ping
Ping = 200

ShowControlBox()
{
    gui 2:+AlwaysOnTop +ToolWindow -MinimizeBox  -MaximizeBox
    gui 2:Add, Text, x+10 y5, In-game Ping:
    gui 2:Add, Edit, vPing gPing x+5 y1 w50, %Ping%
    gui 2:Show, x858 y0 w300 h23, Control Box

}

ShowControlBox()

Ping:
;will do something here when the edit control is updated
