Problem You have set up a login prompt in Part 1. However, there are a number of "annoyances":
- Pressing Enter does not automatically go to next field, or activates the "OK" button. This has been fixed in Part 2
- Suppose the user enters an invalid username or password, the login form gets destroyed, the alert box appears, and the login form re-appears agian. Ideally the login form should only disappear after the user has keyed in the correct username and password.
We will fix (2) in this article.
Solution To fix (2), we just need to rearrange the code in Part 2.
The key is to do the validation check and alert the user of incorrect username or password BEFORE we destroy the login form.
Sample Code Note: If you have installed php-gtk2 using Gnope Installer on Windows, and if running the sample code below gives you warning that the Symbolic names for keys (e.g. Gdk::KEY_Return) is not defined, you might want to update your php-gtk2 with the latest php-gtk2.dll available here. Simply download the php-gtk2.dll and replace the copy in the folder php-gtk2\ext. The latest compilation has put in the Symbolic names for keys listed here.
