List Box - How do I display a column in password format? 1

[emaduddeen]

Hi Everyone,

One of the columns in a table is a password column. Can you tell me how to display it in the list box with just asterisk (*) characters?

I am also using EIP with this list box and have the entry portion working with asterisks in the password field. My problem is when the list box refreshes the password is not a series of asterisks.

Thanks.
Emad

Hi Emad,

You cannot. There is no picture attribute for it. Just make the password column a hot field, use a local string variable and set it to Localvar = ALL('*', LEN(CLIP(PasswordColumn))) in the SetQueueRecord - before parent call.
