Reading text from QLineEdit

[vizier87]

Hi guys,

I'm just trying to access my string from the textbox but my poor understanding of the python structure has made me quite frustrated.

Here's the code:


import sys
import time
from PyQt4.Qt import *
from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore


def CheckText(self):
print(textbox.self.text)

def info(self):
label.setText("Information here")

app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = QtGui.QWidget()
window.resize(600,400)
window.setWindowTitle("Test")

label = QtGui.QLabel("Status Text", window)
label.move(260,230)
label.resize(500,50)

textbox = QLineEdit(window)
textbox.move(30, 45)
textbox.resize(220,30)

btn_Enter = QtGui.QPushButton("Enter", window)
btn_Enter.move(30,80)
btn_Enter.resize(150,50)
btn_Enter.clicked.connect(lambda: CheckText(window))


window.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

The reason I'm using the code structure as above is because it allows me to edit the labels much easier but now I can't access the textbox string for comparing purposes. Anybody can help with me out?\


Thanks!
