VGUI::TextEntry

[oneofthemino]

Hi guys i was hoping somebody could help.
I have finally managed to produce in-game menu screens in my mod but have now come across a problem a little over my head.

As it stands i have a text entry on one of my menu's which is where the player can enter his name and then press ok- no problem, however storing the inputted value from the vgui::textentry element is driving me insane! I want to be able to call the value on a panel later in the game.

I have tried creating a new cpp to store my value, but my original plan doesnt seem like its going to work, i got completely lost when ConVar appeared. (i hope someone understands that!)

If anybody has any idea where i should go from here (other than on a C++ course!) it would be greatly appreciated.
