Not sure what language you're using, but to the best of my knowledge, gtk entry is not a command. Using a gtk entry to enter some text and store the contents is illustrated by the following code:

Code:

   e = Gtk.Entry()
   e.set_text("this is a test")
   my_text = e.get_text()
   print "my_text = ",my_text

Thank you for responding but I use GTK with C language and the command
I Am asking about is
GTK-entry- new () ,this command allow the user to enter text
And my question is when the user type text how can I retrieve this text
To perform other operation such like password. Checking ?
If I want to display the text entered by the user what is the command to
Do that

Thanks

To retrieve the text, you'll still have to use something like

Code:

my_entry = gtk_entry_new()
my_text = gtk_entry_get_text(my_entry)

which will return the text in the entry and store it in the variable my_text.
