How to access a text entry?

by DougEdmunds

I am trying to model a simple GUI from the UITheme class exampleBasicControls. In that method, there's this: 'Text Entry'->(dialog newTextEntryFor: (ValueHolder new contents: 'Hello') getText: #contents setText: #contents: help: 'This is a text entry'). which creates a textbox, with the default value of 'Hello'. How do I access what's typed into the 'Hello' area so I can use it in code? I'd like to use it this way: 1) enter something into the box. 2) when done, click a button which does something with the new value (but I don't want to close the window). For example, I type in '33' and click a button. Some code receives that value and adds 1 to it, then prints out the result 34 on the Transcript. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/How-to-access-a-text-entry-tp3474689p3474689.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Yes, the OSProcess plugin is not distributed with Windows VMs, so this will not work on Windows.
