Hey,

I know how to use the text, you write yourself in a Text Field. But how do you throw some text into a Text Field?

Fx picture this.. You have a window with two Text Fields, and one button. You type some random text into the first field. Then, when the button is pressed, the entered text will appear in the second Text Field.

How is this done?

uhm... like this? :)

app=CreateWindow("hello gadgettext!",0,0,320,240)

txt1=CreateTextField(32,32,80,32,app)
txt2=CreateTextField(32,80,80,32,app)

butt=CreateButton("copy",32,144,32,32,app)

Repeat

	WaitEvent()
	
	If EventSource()=app
		If EventID()=$803 Exit
	EndIf
	
	If EventSource()=butt
		If EventID()=$401
			SetGadgetText txt2,TextFieldText(txt1)
		EndIf
	EndIf
	
Forever
End
