Retrieving Text

Text is retrieved using DDgui_get$ with the id of the widget you want to retrieve the data from, and the parameter of “TEXT”, for example :

DEBUG DDgui_get$(“result”,”TEXT”)

With most widgets, the data returned is that same as that entered.  However, with list boxes, the data returned is slightly different, in that each line is separated with a “|”.

For example :

DDgui_list("test","a|B|C",100,100)

DEBUG DDgui_get$("test","TEXT")

Produces :

a|B|C
