Hi!
I need to get my GDL object showed the text of the parameter from another object. How can I do it?
Help me please.

You can't directly.
Object instances can't talk to each other.

All you can do is have object one write the parameter value to a text file and have object two read that text file.

GLOB_USER variables used to be great for this but they don't work any more since version 19/20.
