(Hidden) Password XBMC keyboard dialog???

Hi, I have grabbed the SVN. Just obtaining the apropriate programs needed to compile at the moment.

Cheers for the help.

Hi,

Can't get the hiddeninput function in my script going, i used the following code:

def getpassinput(self):
mastpassw = ""
keyboard = xbmc.Keyboard(mastpassw, "Please Enter Password")
keyboard.setHiddenInput(True)
keyboard.doModal()
mastpassw = keyboard.getText()

I also tried the "setHiddenInput" with "()" instead of true and no go, also tried moving the line above and below the do.Modal and still no luck.
Is this the right way of doing it?

Cheers

try using "1"... there isnt really a bool datatype... its faked with an unsigned char... but False should be interprettted as zero, and True as one so I dont think thats the problem.

** edit **
also, the way its coded, if you just do "kb.setHiddenInput()" with no argument in the parens, it should default to hidden.

let me know, if its still not working. and please email me a short test script.

That works on the xbox, for some reason it errors on the PC after you cancel or accept the keyboard.

Edit: It actually works and prints the result, but XBMC_PC.exe errors with the following. Also it doesn't matter if the setHiddenInput() is used. Must be something with this specific code, because other scripts work fine with the keyboard.

So to confirm, it works on the Xbox, but not on the PC?

it actually works on both, but xbmc_pc.exe crashes after it prints the results with the above code.

Another script I use with the same code, except it uses the keyboard inside a window class does not crash xbmc_pc.exe.

This code inside a window class does NOT crash xbmc_pc.exe.

I could only get it working on the xbox, no problem tho, i just added a try eg:

try:
keyboard.setHiddenInput(True)
except:pass

This way, if im using pc, it will skip it, and also for people with an older XBMC build, it won't freeze their xbox's.

Also, wondering if there is a way to do this same thought of thing (replace the input with *'s) but with labels.

So once, the password is set, the label for it can also contain the *'s.
At the moment i just set the label to "*******" but then it is always the same and not the correct amount of *'s for the password length. This is no big deal, but just wondering.

Oh, and big up's for implementing this so quick!!! :-D

@stanley87, it sounds like you don't have an updated xbmc_pc.exe.

edit: the label thing should be done with code, just:


edit2: @kraqh3d, xbmc_pc.exe does NOT crash using the skin clearity with the code outside of a class, odd. Might be something on my end. So I'm saying the keyboard code works fine.

Code:

self.passwdLabel.setLabel('*' * len(mastpassw))

Hi thanks, that worked a treat.

You are correct, i'm using the latest compile of XBMC but using an old XBMC_PC.exe. Is there a .bat to compile this or just BUILD through VS NET 2003?
