Entry

The entry widget is used for user input of simple text content. An entry can be created with a simple widget.NewEntry() constructing function. When you create the widget keep a reference so that you can access its Text field later. It is also possible to use the OnChanged callback function to be notified every time the content changes.

Entry widgets can also be set to read only content using the ReadOnly field or calling SetReadOnly(true). You can also set a PlaceHolder text and also set the entry to MultiLine to accept more than one line of text.

You can also create a password entry (where the content is obscured) using the NewPasswordEntry() function.
