Once I get a value from a texctrl can I assign it to a varible by simply
using: set.control.getvalue()=X ?
What would the proper syntax be.

# get the value from the textctrl into a variable:
value = textControl.GetValue()

# modify the contents of the variable:
value = value + " -- suffix"

# overwrite the textctrl's value with the value of the variable:
textControl.SetValue(value)

Keep getting syntax error
Here's my code:
self.FlowerTimebox = wxMaskedTextCtrl(id=wxID_BLUE49FLOWERTIMEBOX,
              name='FlowerTimebox', parent=self.panel1, pos=wxPoint(248,
80),
              size=wxSize(24, 21), style=0, value='')
>>>> >>>>T = FlowerTimebox.GetValue()<<<<<<<<
        self.FlowerTimebox.SetMask('XX')
        self.FlowerTimebox.SetAutoformat('')
        self.FlowerTimebox.SetDatestyle('MDY')
        self.FlowerTimebox.SetFormatcodes('')
        self.FlowerTimebox.SetDescription('')
        self.FlowerTimebox.SetExcludeChars('')
        self.FlowerTimebox.SetValidRegex('')
        self.FlowerTimebox.SetConstraints(LayoutAnchors(self.FlowerTimebox,
              True, True, False, False))

(...)

try this instead:

T = self.FlowerTimebox.GetValue()
