Hi,
I have tried the following but with no success

d.TicketLookupBtn <<= THISBACK1(EditTicket, d.TicketLookupBox);

How do I use what is in the edit box and pass it to my function?

To get the data associated with the widget myWidget you can use the operator '~'. For example a = ~myWidget as showed above.
When you need to set some value use the operator '<<='. For example:
myWidget <<= data;
In your case I think you can use

d.TicketLookupBtn <<= THISBACK1(EditTicket,  ~d.TicketLookupBox);

Let us know if you resolved the problem.

No, this is wrong - you would call EditTicket with TicketLookupBox value extracted at the moment of THISBACK1 creation, not the current value!
