Hello,

I'm sorry to bother the forum once more with the same issue. Unfortunately I can't bypass this stupid problem that stopped me. I feel it is not a bug but the mistake it is not at all evident to me. I've prepared a minimalist example that shows what the problem is. They are 5 files very short. Who is interested can run the package attached (unzip in vegaTest). Here I show each file with the hope that the problem can be fixed on the fly.

File 1, is the *.h with the declaration of the two classes that are used by the program, one of them is a widget:

#include <CtrlLib/CtrlLib.h>
#define LAYOUTFILE      <testVega/Vega.lay>
#include <CtrlCore/lay.h>

class NewTournamentDlg : public WithNewTournamentLayout<TopWindow> {
public:
	typedef NewTournamentDlg CLASSNAME;
	NewTournamentDlg();
	~NewTournamentDlg() {;}
};

class RoundData { 
public:
 	String NAMETORNEO;	 		
 	RoundData();
	~RoundData(){;}
};	

// maybe the problem is the line below?
class RoundData TD; //is it seen in each *.cpp file? Is it a definition or a declaration?

File 2 is the definition of the method of the above widget. It put (it should put!) in an EditString the value TD.NAMETORNEO that has been set elsewhere:

#include "VegaMain.h"
   
NewTournamentDlg::NewTournamentDlg()
{   int i, j;
	CtrlLayout(*this, "");

    editTourn <<= TD.NAMETORNEO;
}

and this is the correspondent .lay file:

LAYOUT(NewTournamentLayout, 268, 92)
	ITEM(EditString, editTourn, NotNull(true).LeftPosZ(16, 228).TopPosZ(36, 19))
END_LAYOUT

File 4, define the constructor of the non widget class:

#include "VegaMain.h"

RoundData::RoundData()
{ NAMETORNEO = "my torneo";
}

So "my torneo" is the name with which born an instance of the previous class. And now the last file, main.cpp, where happen strange things:

#include "VegaMain.h"

void NewMask()
{	TD.NAMETORNEO = "luigi";
        NewTournamentDlg newt;
	newt.Run(); //appear "my torneo"
	PromptOK( TD.NAMETORNEO); //appear "luigi"
}

GUI_APP_MAIN
{  	TopWindow w;
	Button b;
	w.Add(b);
	b.SetLabel("push me").LeftPos(10, 100).TopPos(10, 30);
	b.WhenAction = callback(NewMask);
	w.Run();
}

As said in a previous post, after the previous:
TD.NAMETORNEO = "luigi";
I expect to see it inside the editstring of the widget because of its constructor. Instead appear "my torneo". It looks as TD is not seen by newt. How can I do visibile TD to newt? In C I could make TD global, but now?

What I am missing to do?
Thank you,
Luigi
