I'm having trouble getting Gadgets to work in Intuition for AmigaOS 3.x

All I'm needing is a working example of an Intuition window with three different gadgets and how to read their values/respond to actions/IDCMP messages for them.

Gadgets: Text input, Button, Checkbox/Radio/Toggle (Pick one)

Payment through PayPal.
