[PCB_FORUM] Re: SKILL forms - password fields

This is what I was afraid of. Well I think the form callback function
fires whenever you enter a character. I have to test that to see if this
is the case
If this is true, then you could grab the input fromt he form field and
append it to a string or list and replace the current entry with a *
character. You would have to account for leading * chars on each go
around. this might work. Sounds complicated but it isn't really. 
 
Now that I am thinking about tis a bit more, the other way of doing this
might be to write a quick app that provides the login UI in VB, Tcl/Tk
or Java and launch it via IPCSKILL. 
 
Hmmmm ....

Hi Andreas,

I don't think that this is possible using a normal string entry field.
There is no event activated by single characters.
However, you could possibly create an on-screen "keyboard" using the
form grid feature to get around the problem.

Let us all know how you end up achieving this.

Cheers, Dave

fields to display * characters.
        Anyone have a function in SKILL that does this?
