Well, that is "difficult"

Have the EA create a label in the window that says "Input Buy Limit Price Here" and select it, and change the text to your limit price.

Try it, or not. You have asked this same question more than once with little response.

ObjectCreate() object type OBJ_LABEL

ObjectSetText() to set the label text

ObjectDescription() to read the value you store in the label

StrToDouble() to convert the text string in the label to a price value

 
Does this could help?
int start()
  {
   bool draw=1;
   double orderPrice;
   int orderTicket[1],li,order,lenth;
   string text,type[4],
    desc="BuySellLimitStop Price",
    txt=StringConcatenate(Symbol(),Period(),"BSLSO");
   type[0]="BuyLimit";
   type[1]="SellLimit";
   type[2]="BuyStop";
   type[3]="SellStop";
 // ... conditions ...
   if ( draw == true ) // if conditions needed
   {
    if(ObjectFind(txt)<0)Text(txt,desc);
   }
 // search for order send
   if(ObjectFind(txt)>-1)
   {
    if(ObjectDescription(txt)!=desc)
    {
     text=ObjectDescription(txt);
     for(li=0;li<4;li++)
     {
      if(StringFind(text,type[li],0)>-1)
      {
       order=li+2;
       break;
      }
     }
     orderPrice=StrToDouble(StringSubstr(text,StringLen(type[2]+1)));
     // ... #include trade ... 
     orderTicket[0]=OrderSend(Symbol(),order,orderPrice,10,0.0,0.0,"",0,0,Green);
     Comment("OrderType ",type[li]," is integer = ",order,", at Price ",orderPrice);
     if(orderTicket[0]>0)
     {
      if(ObjectFind(txt)>-1)
      {

       ObjectDelete(txt);
       orderTicket[0]=0;
      }
     }
    }
   }
   return(0);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
  void Text(string _LN, string _LT) {
      if(ObjectFind(_LN)<0) ObjectCreate(_LN, OBJ_LABEL, 0, 0, 0);
      ObjectSet( _LN, OBJPROP_CORNER, 1);
      ObjectSet(_LN, OBJPROP_XDISTANCE, 10.0);
      ObjectSet( _LN, OBJPROP_YDISTANCE, 10.0);
      ObjectSetText (_LN, _LT, 12, "Arial Bold", LightSeaGreen);
  return;}
As input should be clear writte "BuyLimit" or other with followed space (as written) and price.
