edit controls in a dialog

[wasgedkongred]

hi everybody,

i've just started to program in ooo basic.
i want to change the text of a textfield or in general: edit a control on a dialog.
with the following code i can only set the text property of the new dialog that is created with this code:

Sub whatever
dim dlg, dlgBeschreibung, TextField1 as object
dlgBeschreibung = DialogLibraries.Standard.BspDlg
dlg = createUnoDialog(dlgBeschreibung)
TextField1 = dlg.getControl("TextField1")
TextField1.model.text="Test"
dlg.Execute()
End Sub

if i try it like this, i get error msges: "object variable not set"
Sub whatever
'dim dlg, dlgBeschreibung, TextField1 as object
'dlgBeschreibung = DialogLibraries.Standard.BspDlg
'dlg = createUnoDialog(dlgBeschreibung)
TextField1 = dlg.getControl("TextField1")
TextField1.model.text="Test"
dlg.Execute()
End Sub

so obviously i have to tell basic where the textfield is...on which dialog.
how do i do that?
thx in advance

I have some comments on your code. First, you create two variables of type Variant and one of type object. You need to explicitly provide a type for every variable. Common mistake.
