Password field 3

[lemonjuice]

How do i display "*****" in a field instead of the text(password)? Is there a property in Paradox9 that I should set or if I have to use code, how will I do it?

The easiest way to do it is to set the field's runtime property to "No Echo" here is the instructions from the help file:

You can instruct Paradox not to display the contents of a field. Right-click the field and choose Properties. Enable the No Echo check box on the Run Time property page.
No Echo is useful for a field where users type in a password. They can enter data, but it is not displayed.

lemonjuice,

While Perrin is correct in that No Echo is the easiest way, it isn't the most satisfying in my opinion. For an alternative, please see

http://www.techtricks.com/paradox/password.php,

which provides a tutorial for creating a form that echos asterisks while the user is typing their password.

Hope this helps...
