password fields
If anyone has a spare minute, please let me know if the 'password field converter' plugin in user space Jock_McTartan behaves itself using different OS's (esp. Mac). I tried a few demo stacks to create password fields, but seemed to keep ending up with strange results in the field (especially with mouse selections and key press combinations) - I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has had problems creating password fields (or am I all alone?) and if this version also produces strange results on different systems. I've only tested on windows so far and it seems to be well behaved.

If the user has to modify what he's typed, or if he highlights the entire password, deletes it, and starts over, the value in thisPassword just keeps building on itself. Here are some scripts I use for this. In this case, the "real" text is stored in a custom property instead of a global. It takes account of cases where the insertion pont is not at the end of the field and when there is a selection. But you would also need to decide whether to allow pasting/cutting in the field, and if so, how to handle it. (I disallow it.) on keyDown pChar if pChar is in "-1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" then ##or whatever put word 2 of the selectedChunk into tCh1 put word 4 of the selectedChunk into tCh2 put the cpPassText of me into tPassText if tCh1 > tCh2 then put "*" after char tCh2 of me put pChar after char tCh2 of tPassText else delete char tCh1 to tCh2 of me delete char tCh1 to tCh2 of tPasstext put "*" after char tCh1 -1 of me put pChar after char tCh1 -1 of tPasstext end if set the cpPassText of me to tPassText else beep end if end keyDown on deleteKey put word 2 of the selectedChunk into tCh1 put word 4 of the selectedChunk into tCh2 put the cpPassText of me into tPassText if tCh1 > tCh2 then delete char tCh1 of me delete char tCh1 of tPassText else delete char tCh1 to tch2 of me delete char tCh1 to tch2 of tPassText end if set the cpPassText of me to tPassText end deleteKey on backspaceKey put word 2 of the selectedChunk into tCh1 put word 4 of the selectedChunk into tCh2 put the cpPassText of me into tPassText if tCh1 > tCh2 then delete char tCh2 of me delete char tCh2 of tPassText else delete char tCh1 to tch2 of me delete char tCh1 to tch2 of tPassText end if set the cpPassText of me to tPassText end backspaceKey Cheers Dave ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: setting up password fields
I really would rather not do that if I don't have to. Not only is it kind of ugly, but the dialog pops up over the top of other graphics and text that I have on the screen, which I don't want.

RE: setting up password fields
I know it's a dialog not a field but might this excerpt from the Trnscript dictionary help? "The ask password command displays a dialog box like the ask command, but with the characters the user types displayed as asterisks (*) for privacy."

setting up password fields
You're all going to be sick of me by the end of the day! :-) I'm just getting into the nitty gritty of my GUI. And since I'm new to Revolution, I've got lots of questions. I know this one has been discussed a while back. I found some posts in an old archive, but I was wondering if anyone has a better (newer) way of setting up a regular field to accept a password entry (i.e. put a '*' in place of each character). I tried some code from an old archive something like: on keydown whichKey global thisPassword put whichKey after thisPassword put "*" after field "passwordField" end keyDown But this doesn't quite work. If the user has to modify what he's typed, or if he highlights the entire password, deletes it, and starts over, the value in thisPassword just keeps building on itself. Does anyone have a solution? Preferably something that handles Delete and Backspace as well? I'd like something that works like "ask password", but in a regular field. Is there any way I can look at the code behind the ask password dialog? Thanks, Chris Sheffield Read Naturally __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
