Ok I'm fairly new to Perl and its Win32 Module. I am trying to do
something simple like get a value off of the input from the user. So I
made a textfield in which they type in say their name....then I cannot
get the value to the point where I can actually use it.

For example:

# here the dialog box object is created

$myDialogBox = new Win32::GUI::DialogBox(
   -name => "DialogBox",
   -title => "DialogBox",
   -top => 150,
   -left => 170,
   -width => 300,
   -height => 150,
   -visible => 1);

# here I add the text field to type into

$myDialogBox->AddTextfield(
   -name => "TextField",
   -password => 0,
   -top => 40,
   -left => 70,
   -width => 90,
   -height => 20,
   -visible => 1);

# here is the button which they click when done typing

$myDialogBox->AddButton(
   -name => "MyButton",
   -text => "OK",
   -top => 60,
   -left => 70,
   -visible => 1);

# and here is what happens when they do click the button.

sub MyButton_Click {
 print "Hello $myDialogBox::TextField\n";
}

the last part is what I'm having trouble with. $myDialogBox::TextField
doesn't seem the correct way to express the value of the text field.
What do I use for this?
In JavaScript the value is expressed like:
"myDialogBox.TextField.value". But I don't know how to do that here.


Please, let me know if you can help me....thanks.
