Set '*' as a Password Char in a Form Field [message #901077]

Hi,

First of all, I am using Scout.

I would like to know how can I set '*' as the masking char in the password field of my Users Form.

In other words, I'd like the password to be displayed a a series of * in the corresponding form field.

Hi

For an AbstractStringField you can set getConfiguredInputMasked to true. I don't think you can explicitly set the masking character, I believe it just uses a password field provided by SWT, Swing etc. If you have/want to change it, you could try playing with execFormatValue (I don't know whether you would have to check for possible "clipboard attacks" in that case).

I hope that helps.

Regards

Arthur

In the scout sdk this is the property "InputMasked" that you have to check for that text/string field.

Does this help you?
