This example creates an edit box and an OK button. The user types in his password, and it checks if the password was correct.

-- set our password
local password = "cheeseman"

-- create our button
local button = guiCreateButton(0.7, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, "OK", true)
-- create an edit box and define it as "editBox"
local editBox = guiCreateEdit(0.3, 0.1, 0.4, 0.1, "", true)
-- ensure that it is masked
guiEditSetMasked(editBox, true)

-- set up our function to output the message to the chatbox
function checkPassword()
    local text = guiGetText(editBox) -- get the text from the edit box
    if text == password then -- if the text matches the password
        outputChatBox("Password Correct!")
    else
        outputChatBox("Password Incorrect!")
    end
end
-- set the function to be called when the OK button is clicked
addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", button, checkPassword)
