gtk:entry-visibility (object)

object -- a gtk:entry widget
visible -- true if the contents of the text entry are displayed as plaintext

Accessor of the visibility slot of the gtk:entry class. The gtk:entry-visibility function retrieves whether the text in the text entry is visible. The (setf gtk:entry-visibility) function sets whether the contents of the text entry are visible or not.

When visibility is set to false, characters are displayed as the invisible char, and will also appear that way when the text in the text entry is copied elsewhere. By default, GTK picks the best invisible character available in the current font, but it can be changed with the gtk:entry-invisible-char function.
