[comp.windows.x.motif] Login window

muenx@heike.informatik.uni-dortmund.de (Holger Muenx) (09/21/90)

   I want to program a little window which two text widgets for a login
procedure. As usual, the first widget is for a login name and the second one
for a password. Nobody should see another one's password so the entering of a
password should have no echo.

   How can such text entering without echo be done with motif? Is there
something like a invisible font available? Or is there a special option for
text widgets to switch off echos?

   Thanks in advance,

                                                       -Holger

Perhaps it's a kludge, but we did this by making the text the same
color
as the background.
