Think you guys are gonna get sick of me!
How do I create a TextBox and save the Inputed data as a string?
Like in a windows form!

I *think* Blitzplus and Blitzmax/MaxGUI are more or less the same, so something like this (make sure debug is enabled so you can see the output):

win = CreateWindow("test",50,50,200,120)
txt = CreateTextField(5,5,80,24,win)
SetGadgetText txt,"Hello"
btn = CreateButton("Click me",90,5,80,24,win)

Repeat
	WaitEvent()
	Select EventID()
		Case EVENT_WINDOWCLOSE
			End
		Case EVENT_GADGETACTION
			Select EventSource()
				Case btn
					DebugLog TextFieldText(txt)
			End Select
	End Select
Forever

Thanx for the fast reply, This we give me something to chew over for a few hours!

NO, I can't figure it out! :/
I think I must have asked the question wrong.
======================================
An Empty text box that can except user input and then the input saved as a string!

Is that a more procise question.

Actually, although I've never used B+, Gfk's code should work; just replace:

DebugLog TextFieldText(txt)

With something like:

MyString$ = TextFieldText(txt)

Hey, don't sweat it; I think all techie's brains are a little addled, which is why we're so great!
