Turing Password Field?

-----------------------------------

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.

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?

i found a old password thing i had. here ya go:


View.Set ("nocursor")
var password : string (1)
var input := ""
put "Password: "
loop
    locate (1, length ("Password:") + 1)
    put repeat ("*", length (input))
    getch (password)
    exit when c = KEY_ENTER
    input += password
end loop

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.

I can't seem to find it. Does this way that your talking about function with textboxes?
