You're correct, and I didn't explain that I had already populated a
local var with the content of the text file IO::File->new.

That's what I was asking..."but did not see a method to assign the
content to the control".  Here's what I see available thru the docs..

    * Constructor
          o new Win32::GUI::Textfield(PARENT, %OPTIONS) 
    * Methods
          o LineFromChar(INDEX)
          o MaxLength([CHARS])
          o Modified([FLAG])
          o PasswordChar([CHAR])
          o ReadOnly([FLAG])
          o ReplaceSel(STRING, [FLAG])
          o Select(START, END)
          o SelectAll()
          o Selection()
          o Undo() 
    * Events
          o Change()
          o GotFocus()
          o LostFocus() 

Which method should I use?

TIA,
Mark

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
