Re: [Tkinter-discuss] changing the Entry 'show' option back to normal
Apologies to levi for sending directly to you at first, been a while since I posted to a news group ;-) Levi Starrett wrote:
i'm trying to create a password system with the pmw notebook. i've succeeded in changing the entry show option to '*', but i can't figure out how to change it back to normal. thanks in advance.
Levi, As far as I can see there is no way to change what you see in the Entry field back to its real value.. I guess the question is why would you want to? The value when you 'get' it is the real value but what you see (and cut / paste) will be the *'s Cheers Martin

The value when you 'get' it is the real value but what you see (and cut / paste) will be the *'s . . . I, also, corresponded with Levi. If I understand him directly, he meant "change back to normal" in a different sense, the one <URL: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/tkinter-discuss/2008-December/001781.html > addresses.

Thanks Cameron, I didn't notice your original reply, for some reason Thunderbird did not thread it correctly. -- signature file not found, must be something I ate --- Registered Name: WesternGeco Limited Registered Office: Schlumberger House, Buckingham Gate, Gatwick Airport, West Sussex.
