How do I create a dialog with multiple text fields using zenity?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I want to crate a GUI for some command line programs and I need to get info from multiple text fields e.g. 'Username', 'Password' and a checkbox 'Sign automatically?'.
I need to set particular variables in my script equal to the respective text fields' input by the user e.g. user, pass, login. Also it would have an OK button and a Quit button.
How can I realise this this? I searched online and I was able to find only examples with one text field?
bash command-line gui zenity

Basically, you can use multi-entry forms using Zenity. A form can be built using text fields, password fields, and calendars. Text fields can be added with the --add-entry flag. Password fields are added with the --add-password flag, and calandars are added with the --add-calendar flag.
$ zenity --forms --title="Create user" --text="Add new user"
--add-entry="First Name"
--add-entry="Last Name"
--add-entry="Username"
--add-password="Password"
--add-password="Confirm Password"
--add-calendar="Expires"
Zenity form
Here is a tutorial that might help you out.

This looks much better. However, if you got the idea from the page you linked to originally, you should still include the link as a source reference.

I do not believe you can do this using Zenity. It's meant for simple GUI's and isn't really a full fledged GUI environment. You'll either have to change the flow of your tool or use GTK+ directly to get your desired results.

do you believe the extra functionalities of yad could suffice? as the questioner stated, it is for command line programs, and so, that extra complexity is certainly not required.
