Hola, here's a more refined version of something I whined about before: 
    #####################################
    #    what this does:    Dialog Box that writes a hashed financial 
+goal (float $num, string $desc) into a .dat file GF
    # 
    #    important variables defined:    TextEntry $numNewGoal marked 
+by Label $tag, TextBox $descNewGoal. 
    #####################################  
        my $addGoalButn=$features->Button(-text=>'Add Goal', -command=
+>sub {
           $n_prompt=$main->DialogBox(-title=>"Add a \$ value and expl
+anation", -buttons=>["OK","Cancel"]),        
            $tag=$n_prompt->add(Label, -text=>"\$"),
            $numNewGoal=$n_prompt->add(Entry),
            $descNewGoal=$n_prompt->add(Text, -height=>'5', -width=>'3
+0'),
            $n_prompt->Show(),
            $num=$numNewGoal->get(), 
            $desc=$descNewGoal->get("1.0", "end"),
#paid upgrade option: rewrite below for Excel/SQL connectivity
            open(GF, "+<$file_goals") || warn("Your file is empty."),
            print GF join('\n', $num, $desc),
            close(GF)
        });

Should work, right? Wrong. The DialogBox shows OK/Cancel Buttons but no entries. There are a couple of these, plus the appropriate adding trigger buttons to the main GUI that work fine....Any help is appreciated.

In reply to DialogBox needs Entry, Text by monkMAC
