What GUI are you using? WxPython, Qt, Tkinter... You don't provide much detail.
If you explain a bit what you have done so far it might be easier to help.

Hi there,

im using SharpDevelop to create my GUI. but i found it's quite hard to search online tutorial or forum for SharpDevelop.

i used tabControl. In first tabpage, user need to fill in the textboxs(ie:Name,id number,age,address,etc.) Then "Next" button click, a summary of what have been entered in 1st tabpage need to be display in second tabpage. i tried using label to display,

self._label12.Text = self._textBoxName.Text
self._label14.Text = self._textBoxAge.Text

but it doesnt work.. Can anyone help me with this? or is there a better way to do this?

I am not familiar with #develop. In Tkinter you would initialize a StringVar() object for each Entry field. The object would be associated with the Entry by assigning it to the Entry textvariable option. When the user enters a value in an Entry, the value can be obtained with the StringVar object's get() method. Something like this:

var = StringVar()
Entry(master, textvariable=var)
 
self._label12.Text = self.var.get()

You need to find out what methods and options are available.
