Is there a way to make a textbox display asterics, but still be able to getText of the textbox, and have what they actually typed? (not asterics)

Thanks.

ok do you mean when you type it puts asterixes but when you say put it shows the word?

easy peasy!!

do a setscreen("noecho")

then, do a loop for getch's. when they hit enter, loop exits. every time through the loop, you want to put an asterisk wherever you want to, be it a textbox, or whatever. ok?

loop

getch(var)

exit when var = %%Whatever "enter" is

array[num] = var

end loop

What I want is, when the user types in the text field, it displays asteriks, but when I use the GUI.GetText command, I get what they actually wrote. Is this possible?

there's an example of just this somewhere in the Turing Examples, look through it and see what you find.
