Python .net Winforms - How To Pass Info From A Textbox To A Button Click Event

Before I get into my question, I am (self) learning how Python and the .NET CLR interact with each other. It has been a fun, yet, at times, a frustrating experience. With that said

Solution 1:

txt is a local variable in __init__, meaning that you can't access it from any other function. To fix it, make it an instance variable by attaching it to self (which refers to the instance itself):

self.txt = TextBox()
self.txt.Parent = self
self.txt.Location =  Point(lbl.Left - 1, lbl.Bottom  + 2) # From Left, From Top

and

defbuttonPressed(self, sender, args):
    MessageBox.Show('This works.')
    MessageBox.Show(self.txt.Text) # Now this does too
