Update Gui Text ?

Hi. All I need to do is update the text of a guiTextCtrl with script from within client.cs.
Here's the gui code I have:
Here's what I've attempted to do in client.cs:
I even tried canvas.setContent
and canvas.pushDialog, but I either used them wrong, or they don't work for what I'm trying to do.
Here's the gui code I have:
new GuiControl(BaseControls) {
profile = "GuiDefaultProfile";
horizSizing = "right";
vertSizing = "bottom";
position = "0 0";
extent = "640 480";
minExtent = "8 2";
visible = "1";
new GuiTextCtrl(guiProspectGold) {
profile = "GuiBaseTextProfile";
horizSizing = "right";
vertSizing = "bottom";
position = "47 150";
extent = "59 18";
minExtent = "8 2";
visible = "1";
text = "Gold";
maxLength = "255";
};
};Here's what I've attempted to do in client.cs:
BaseControls.guiProspectGold.text = "Gold" SPC $player1.gold; guiProspectGold.text = "Gold" SPC $player1.gold;
I even tried canvas.setContent
and canvas.pushDialog, but I either used them wrong, or they don't work for what I'm trying to do.

guiProspectGold.setText("Gold" SPC $player1.gold);In the future, you can check the source code for useful console functions. What you would want to do is open up the related file (which in this case would be engine/gui/controls/guiTextCtrl.cc) and do a search for "consoleMethod." You would then find this:
on line 23.
The source can be intimidating for non-programmers, but it is also really useful for things like this.
