Front panel textbox and GOOP?

Hi I'm having some GOOP problems here.

I have a front panel control, let's say it's a text box. Logically that
script is a member variable of a goop object. I'm trying to separate the
implementation from the GUI so this project is easier to manage.

However the I/O becomes a problem. My current thoughts are to create a
textbox in the GUI. Then I'm stumped. Have a while-loop that continually
writes the textbox value to the member variable in the object? But then it
becomes awkward again to programmatically write values into the textbox and
make sure they get into the object before it is acted upon, gotta consider
rendezvous or something unnecessarily complicated.

This is awkward programmatically. What should I do? Would love
some advice.
Ideally any typing would go directly into the memory space of the object and
I wouldn't have to worry about all this.

Have you considered creating Attribute Nodes where the "Item Names" option is used to update the control/indicator name? You could make these a Sequence step (say 1st) or updated only upon certain events to minimize processor time.
