Details

You should call a SetText("") every time you read from an EditBox, so the command line is free for the next input.

MultiLineEditBox

When using a MultiLineEditBox, there is a sub-control called Edit the actually contains the text. For example, if the form name is "TestFourForm" and the MultilineEditBox control name is $parentMultiEditBox then you would use TestFourFormMultiEditBoxEdit to put text into the control.

TestFourFormMultiEditBoxEdit:SetText("This is a test.");
