[perl-win32-gui-users] newbie - trying to get data from text box

[Michael Solomon]

I have just started looking at Win32 Gui

What I want to do is put up a text box and allow a user to enter data then
capture it

By looking at code posted here I have written the following:

use Win32::GUI; 
  
         $Frame = new Win32::GUI::Window( 
              -name => "aFrame", 
               -top => 100, 
                -left => 150, 
             -width => 350, 
              -height => 200, 
               -title => "Test Win32::GUI", 
            ); 
        $Frame->AddTextfield( 
                -name => "aTextField", 
                 -top => 50, 
                  -left => 20, 
                   -height => 20, 
                    -width => 300, 
                -prompt => "Type a text here : ", 
           ); 
         $Frame->AddButton( 
              -name => "aButton", 
               -text => "OK", 
                -top => 90, 
             -left => 150, 
              -height => 25 
               -width => 50, 
               ); 
   
         $Frame->Show(); 
   
          Win32::GUI::Dialog(); 
    
       sub aFrame_Terminate { 
               -1; 
          } 
    
sub aButton_Click {
                print "test\n";
                &aFrame_Terminate;
}


What I haven't worked out how to do is to access the text entered.

Also I want the cursor to start in the text box rather than having to click
on it.

Any help will be gratefully received.
