I have tried lots of ways to reference or get the value of an input item on a layout. All seem to get an error.
I even tried what was on the video example of (int)~layoutname.fieldname, and still get errors.
Tried funcmid::funcmid.inStart.GetData();
where funcmid is the layout name. I have tried without the second funcmid, so it was just funcmid.inStart.GetData(); and still errors.
How does one reference or get the value of an input field?
Also how does one change the text on a label for an label on a layout?
All I get is errors about it.
There has to be an easy way to do this?
I have gotten buttons to perform an action when pushed, but haven't been able to change the text label on the button either.

Hi,
It is fairly easy. you don't have to perform any extra steps. Any widget can be accessed by their names, and they act just like regular U++ widgets.
I attached a very simple U++ example which demonstrates how to modify button labels on the fly and shows how to pass the content of an EditField to a static text box .

You did point me in the right direction. While your example didn't work, it did help me on getting it to work.
I have attached my example of a function for getting part of a string. It now works in windows vista.
I am thinking of writing a book on U++ for other, to be published in America. Which I sure would help U++ to get more noticed by others. Not sure what all it takes from U++ to do this I.E. permission to do this, or if anyone would like to help on it.
I am new to C++, and use windows for GUI. I do know some unix but command code only.
I come from a background of programming in VB 6, and mostly web back ground. But VB 6, will not do what I need done for a program, and I am not sure what if Microsoft programming will do what need.

Ok, I've tried your example, and congratulations, you have a working, cross-platform U++ example  (I've tested it on Kubuntu 11.04/Linux).
I'm sure that people will be eager to help you writing a book on U++, since it is a very effective, and sadly, underrated, rad tool. And the U++ community is very friendly. IMO,the weakest part of U++ is its documentation, so you should familiarize yourself with the provided examples. They will also give you some hints and tips and let you understand U++ way of coding.
