[Java-gnome-developer] gtk.Entry problems

[Marek P. <mc...@o2...>]

Hello.

I am trying to get content from gtk.Entry which has setVisible(false)
and what i get by using getText() method is always an empty String.
I'm trying to get content from the configuration dialog and can get
content from all Entries but the "invisible" ones. Is there any special
way to get text from them? Or other way to get something secret from
user without echoing?=20


Thanks.

I was able to duplicate this. Would you be so kind as top open a bug
please? [Bugs are always welcome for "it should work but doesn't"]

A workaround is to use the Entry's getText() method, rather than the
EntryEvent's getText().
