that makes sense now, thanks tanner!

Sure. I assume you mean the code to scan through your elements for data? Here is how I would do it:
MoveToNextValue: (A is pointer to current location in string, Str1 is the string you used with the renderer)
Code:
To read the current value pointed to by A (from the above routine)
Code:
You would then cycle through all of your elements to find the correct one using the first routine, and read the value using the second routine. For instance, if we had this GUI:
Code:
(Bad code, sorry)
MoveToNextValue: (A is pointer to current location in string, Str1 is the string you used with the renderer)
Code:
Instring(Str1,"<PlotScreenPlus>",A)+1
if Ans != 1
Ans->ACode:
Instring(Str1,"<PlotScreenPlus>",A
If Ans != 0
Then
Sub(Str1,A,Ans-A
Else
"
EndCode:
Sum(9
Sum(7,1,"0000000000","Test GUI"
Sum(7,4,0,0,0,"Test Text
Sum(7,10,0,20,2,1,"Button 1
Sum(7,10,0,26,2,0,"Button 2
Sum(7,10,0,32,2,0,"Button 3
Sum(12,0,0,1
1->A
For(B,0,1)
Instring(Str1,"<PlotScreenPlus>",A)+1
if Ans != 1
Ans->A
End
Instring(Str1,"<PlotScreenPlus>",A
If Ans != 0
Then
Sub(Str1,A,Ans-A
Else
"
End
if expr(Ans
1->C
Instring(Str1,"<PlotScreenPlus>",A)+1
if Ans != 1
Ans->A
Instring(Str1,"<PlotScreenPlus>",A
If Ans != 0
Then
Sub(Str1,A,Ans-A
Else
"
End
if expr(Ans
2->C
Instring(Str1,"<PlotScreenPlus>",A)+1
if Ans != 1
Ans->A
Instring(Str1,"<PlotScreenPlus>",A
If Ans != 0
Then
Sub(Str1,A,Ans-A
Else

End
if expr(Ans

That makes sense to me! That last paragraph of SirTanner's (_player's) post is what has the bit you're specifically asking about.

what does string for the renderer?
Wow, that made no sense whatsoever. Please try to complete full sentences with spelling and grammar; it makes life easier for everyone.

is that where the button detection is registered to?
It's where a bunch of stuff gets stored. The text typed into boxes, the radio buttons selected, etc. However, the index of the item that was clicked is returned in Ans, not that string.
They are. The string isn't returned in Ans, it is returned in StrX, where X is the string you supply to Sum(12,0,0,X) For instance, 1 is Str1, 5 is Str5, 10 is Str0, and the rest are hacked strings that you can only get to with xLib (Which can be done because xLib is in DCS)

The list in Ans is {X,Y,clicked,trigger} (check out http://dcs.cemetech.net/index.php?title=BasicLibs:GUIMouse ). First two elements are {X,Y} where the click happened. Third item says if it was a left- or right-click. The fourth and final element says which item was clicked that caused the GUIMouse to end. The data in items like radio buttons, text input boxes, checkboxes, integer input boxes, etc. gets stored in the string named in the sum(12,...) arguments, though.

Nope, it has to be a number. And the Sum(7 statement is also incorrect.
That would really be: Sum(7,10,x,y,a,b,"Hello" // Could be a string variable, but I am not using that because it might be confusing.
Sum(12,c,d,1
After that, yes, Str1 has the right button values.

More like:
Code:
Ans(4) would have the index of the item clicked. Str1 would contain the value of each of the radio buttons, I think as 1+0+0 or thereabouts.
Code:
sum(9
sum(7,1,"0000000000","Test GUI"
sum(7,4,0,0,0,"Test Text
sum(7,10,0,20,2,1,"Button 1
sum(7,10,0,26,2,0,"Button 2
sum(7,10,0,32,2,0,"Button 3
sum(12,0,0,1->AnsAns(4) would have the index of the item clicked. Str1 would contain the value of each of the radio buttons, I think as 1+0+0 or thereabouts.

Correct. Is this making sense to you?
Edit:
I am too lazy to actually make my own post so instead I quote people and then don't say anything new
Edit 2: Ans is different from the string Sum(12 stores to. Ans has to do with what caused the GUI to end, the string has to do with what data was stored in the GUI before it ended.
