recording textbox data into a variable

[Axel_Erfurt]

That works with PySide6

import sys
from PySide6.QtWidgets import QMainWindow, QApplication, QWidget, QLineEdit
from PySide6.QtCore import Slot
 
 
 
class MyMainWindow(QMainWindow):
     
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.setWindowTitle("Qt window")
        self.setMinimumSize(800,600)
 
        # widget of central area
        centralArea = QWidget()
        centralArea.setStyleSheet("background: #5A5E6B")
        self.setCentralWidget(centralArea) 
 
        # textbox implementation
        textBox1 = QLineEdit("", centralArea)
        textBox1.setStyleSheet('background: lightgrey;'
                               'color: red;')
        textBox1.setGeometry(200, 90, 270, 30)
        textBox1.textEdited.connect(self.getTextInTextBox)              # signal = "textEdited"
                                                                        # my own slot = "getTextInTextBox"
 
    # slots definition
    @Slot(str)
    def getTextInTextBox(self, text):          
        print(f"Text in the textbox is '{text}'")
        return text
 
 
if __name__ == "__main__":
     
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)    
 
    MyWindow = MyMainWindow()
    MyWindow.show()
    implementedText = MyWindow.getTextInTextBox("")
 
    sys.exit(app.exec())
