quick Tk question

[Grygonos]

Is there a way to * out selected text in Tk. Say an FTP password. I was just toying around with Net::FTP and Tk making a FTP client.

Thanks,

I'm not quite sure about what you mean, but you might be looking for the -show attribute of Tk::Entry. Example:

#!perl -w
use strict;

use Tk;

my $main = new MainWindow;

my $entry = $main->Entry(-show => '*')->pack;

MainLoop;


Hope this helped.

See the -show option in the Tk::Entry man page. Example:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;

my $input = '';

my $m = tkinit;
$m->Entry(
    -show           => "*",
    -textvariable   => \$input,
)->pack;
$m->Button(
    -text       => 'Quit',
    -command    => sub { $m->destroy },
)->pack;

MainLoop;

print "input was: $input\n";
