Why can't I hide input with 'ask/hide'?
I use Saphir R3, and cannot mask the input with "ask/hide". There is a script error: "input has no refinement called hide". This is weird because "/hide" should be legitmate for "ask", at least it is written as such in the function's description. Has anyone ever had the same problem? or I just made a grammar mistake?

The /hide refinement hasn't been implemented yet in R3.

In my build of R3, the hide refinement for the ask function is defined, but is not yet supported by the function -- input.
Type "source ask" to see the code.

Got it, thanks :-) By the way, is there any other refinements that are not yet implemented?

I just remembered randomly seeing that one in the recent past. You may want to check out http://www.codeconscious.com/rebol/r2-to-r3.html for a nice list of differences between R2 and R3. I covered some differences between basic R2 VID and R3-GUI at http://business-programming.com/business_programming.html#section-18.3

I created a new post (R2 and R3 differences)

Thanks, Nick. Although I cannot understand some of the topics there (http://www.codeconscious.com/rebol/r2-to-r3.html),I find it a great reference :-)

BTW,
A quick solution is to use a GUI field widget with the 'hide property set to true:
load-gui
guie/styles/field/facets/hide-input: true
view [field]

Or better, create your own 'password widget:
stylize [
password: field [
facets: [hide-input: true]
]
]
view [
password
password
password
]

For example:
do %r3-gui.r3
stylize [password: field [facets: [hide-input: true]]]
view [
p: password
button "Save" on-action [
write %pass x: get-face p
alert join "Saved: " x
]
]
view [
text "Here's what was written to the 'pass.txt' file:"
area (read/string %pass)
]

Hi, is the R3 download on the Saphirion website always the latest available build?
posted by: Arie 14-Jan-2014/13:29:11-8:00
Yes, for Saphir build, and there should be some new releases in the next few weeks.
