TEXTBOX to Variable

Hello All,
For some strange reason I cannot set the value of a TEXTBOX to a variable. I can output the value to a MsgBox().
Works:
Does not compile:
Code: Select all
function test()
local x
x := oWin.txtConn_Driver.value
return nil
Error:
Code: Select all
...Error E0030 Syntax error "syntax error at '.'"
What can you recommend?
Thanks,
Michael

I recommend please send no abstracted statements but a working sample abstracted from other details

Is your oWin declared in the same module as test function?

Hi Michael,
You've never mention if the source codes are in separate .prg source. If you are using HBClass or HMG Objects or you have created a window inside of a Class for sure that would give an error message.
Why not call test with the value of text box control?
Code: Select all
test(oWin.txtConn_Driver.value)
function test( cTxt )
do your processing here!
return nil
My suggestion is based on assumption only.
Regards,
Danny

You can change your code to:
Code: Select all
ctxt := GetProperty("oWin","txtConn_Driver","value")
test(ctxt)

Thanks for all your suggestions. Yes the code that attempts to extract the value was in an external #INCLUDE file. I am trying to separate my GUI code from my other program logic.
I am not using CLASSES but I can see how I was misleading given that I did not post it in full (as I named my Window handle oWin). I think I'll change my naming convention there.
GetProperty("oWin","txtConn_Driver","value") did the trick!
Thanks again,
Michael
