Password dialogue box

Post by Glenn Boyce » Thu Aug 19, 2010 7:43 am

I need to set up a simple password dialogue. No problem but how do I mask the password being entered so it shows up as just a row of dots or similar?

Hi Glenn,

how about "ask password" (-> dictionary).
If all you need is asterixes instead of plain text.

Glenn,

It looks like the ask password command is sufficient, but in case you need more than that, you'll find a password field library here.

Best regards,
