    function( )
        --create a button object
        local button = Button:Create( 0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "Output!", true );
        -- change the color when cursor is moved on top of the button
        button:ColorOnHover( "FF0000FF" );
        --Create a TextBox (formally edit box)
        textBox = TextBox:Create( 0.3, 0.1, 0.4, 0.1, "Type your message here!", true )
        textBox:MaxLength( 128 ) --the max chatbox length is 128, so force this

        -- and attach the outputTextBox function to the button
        button:AddOnClick( outputTextBox );
    end
)
--setup our function to output the message to the chatbox
function outputTextBox( )
        local text = textBox:Text( ) --get the text from the TextBox
        outputChatBox ( text ) --output that text
end
