Edit boxes are wide, rectangular boxes for entering text. Edit lines are a slender, little box for entering one line of text.
# sample7.rb
Shoes.app :width => 250, :height => 300 do
stack do
@msg = para 'Hello'
@el = edit_line "We love Ruby."
button('ok'){ @msg.text = @el.text}
@eb = edit_box "We love Shoes."
button('ok'){ @msg.text = @eb.text}
end
end

We can use :secret in the edit_line area.
# sample7-1.rb
Shoes.app :width => 235, :height => 80 do
para 'password: '
@el = edit_line :width => 100, :secret => true
button('ok'){@input.replace em(@el.text)}
@input = para ''
end
