This function sets or removes masking (covering up the text being typed) for password text fields.

Syntax

bool guiEditSetMasked ( element theElement, bool status )

OOP Syntax Help! I don't understand this!

Method: GuiEdit:setMasked(...)
Variable: .masked
Counterpart: guiEditIsMasked


A masked text

Required Arguments

  • theElement: The edit box to be changed.
  • status: A boolean value indicating whether masking is to be enabled or disabled.

Example

This example creates an edit box and an OK button. The user types in his password, and it checks if the password was correct 

-- set our password
password = "cheeseman"

-- create our button
button = guiCreateButton( 0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "OK", true )
-- create an edit box and define it as "editBox"
editBox = guiCreateEdit( 0.3, 0.1, 0.4, 0.1, "", true )
-- ensure that it is masked
guiEditSetMasked ( editBox, true )

-- set up our function to output the message to the chatbox
function checkPassword ()
        local text = guiGetText ( editBox )     -- get the text from the edit box
        if text == password then                -- if the text matches the password
                outputChatBox ( "Password Correct!" )
        else
                outputChatBox ( "Password Incorrect!" )
        end
end
-- set the function to be called when the OK button is clicked
addEventHandler ( "onClientGUIClick", button, checkPassword )
