[Gambas-user] How to input hide password into gambas command line project ?

Hello all,

Since few day I work on a little project that consist to a cli program written in Gambas3 where the first task is to ask to the user to enter a password but of course, all written character must be hidden.

I try to use INPUT instruction but all characters entered are automatically written on the terminal so it’s not a good solution.
I try to use gb.ncurses to do the same work and a strange thing happens. Just enabling gb.ncurses on the project without any instruction to create a new Window (as described in the gb.ncurses tutorial) and automatically all characters written in console to the INPUT instruction are hidden. This solution could work but I have other problem when for example I terminate the program, the terminal where the program is started become unusable. I don’t know why but in the end this solution is not usable in my case.

Does someone could help me on this problem please ?

PS:  Event Application_Signal(Signal As Integer) raise correctly when gb.ncurses is disabled in console based program (Gambas 3.8.90+svn7374+build31~ubuntu14.04.1 installed into Linux Mint 17.2) but does not raise when gb.ncurses is enabled, event if no instruction regarding this component is used in the program.

Thank you

Olivier Cruilles
