close FILE;

Then insert the $content in the Win32::GUI control you want.
For a Textfield that would be
$textfield->Text($content);
undef $content; # unless you really want the text stored twice
The RichEdit control has a method to load itself from a file.
$richedit->Load($file_path);
[all untested]

Subject: [perl-win32-gui-users] Control for Displaying the contents of a
text file?
Hello,
Newbie has just started experimenting with Win32::GUI. Great stuff. I
see that GetOpenFileName() returns the file I selected from the dialog
box. Which control(s) might easily display the contents of this text
file? I was guessing textfield...? But did not see a method to assign
the content to the control...
TIA,
Mark
