Description hemanth 2010-03-05 18:23:32 UTC 
read -a option in a script to read multiple inputs from a same window you be very useful, for example to read user-name and password twice from a single window to a array will be very useful, rather than using text-entry thrice for this, an option like zenity --entry --text="Name" --text="password" --text="re-enter"

Hello,

There's a --forms option already on master.

Usage:
zenity --forms --add-entry="Type your name" --add-password="Type your password" --add-password="Retype your password"

Other options:
--add-calendar=TEXT - Add a calendar
--separator=SEPARATOR - Change the separator (default is "|" )
--forms-date-format=PATTERN - Change date format for calendar widget ie. "%d / %m / %Y"
