password_run


Description:

public unowned string password_run (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error

Prompts for password.

Set the various properties on the prompt before calling this method to explain which password should be entered.

This method will block until the a response is returned from the prompter and will run a main loop similar to a gtk_dialog_run. The application will remain responsive but care must be taken to handle reentrancy issues.

A password will be returned if the user enters a password successfully. The returned password is valid until the next time a method is called to display another prompt.

null will be returned if the user cancels or if an error occurs. Check the throws argument to tell the difference.

Parameters:

this

a prompt

cancellable

optional cancellation object

Returns:

the password owned by the prompt, or null
