RE: [perl-win32-gui-users] How do I recognize that the user has pressed enter inside a text box?

[Steven S. <ssw...@su...>]

Basically I want the equivalent of the pascal readln or perl $input = 
<STDIN>; from within a textbox.
the Text() method does allow me to gain access to the information entered 
but does not tell me whether the information
was committed to by the user.  I don't want to use a button if I can get 
away with it.

any ideas?
