In Rebol 2, in order to create a password text field it is possible to write
view [
field hide
]
How to do it in Rebol 3?
You can use the hide-input
facet of text input widgets to control whether input is shown or not.
There are two ways how to do this. First, you can override the facet directly in your layout specification:
view [field options [hide-input: true]]
Second, you can create a custom widget (let's call it password
) derived from field
but overriding the hide-input
facet:
stylize [
password: field [ ;; Create a PASSWORD widget, derived from FIELD.
facets: [ ;; Override FIELD's facets.
hide-input: true ;; Mask the input with asterisks.
]
]
]
view [password]
I hope that a password
widget will eventually come bundled with stock R3-GUI.
