Dialogs - Password encryption?

Post by dheck2 » Thu Jan 06, 2011 5:32 pm

I am now in my second day of script writing and things are progressing nicely. I would however, like to know how to create a TextWindow in the Dialog1 UI that will receive a password value from the user (in text form) and encrypt it when it is typed or if it is provided as a default from the Dialog properties screen.

Is this possible?

After further review, I see that this is accomplished via the PASSWORDCHAR property of the text box in question. I changed this value from its default of '0' to '*' and it worked just as expected.
