Hi All,
Why can't we look for a simpler solution tha n goin to FONTS n all?
Here, this works:
As soon as char is entered, trap it ( before it gets to fld Enter) ,
keep it in array or someting in ur application, n insert asterisk in
field !!
static char sTrapped [31] = "\0"; // assuming max len of field is 30
FieldPtr fldP; // passwd field pointer
int iLen = 0;
case keyDownEvent:
fldP = ( FieldPtr ) GetObjectPtr (MainPassField);
iLen = FldGetTextLength ( fldP);
sTrapped [ iLen] = eventP->data.keyDown.chr;
FldInsert ( fldP, "*", StrLen("*"));
handled = true; //
Don't forget this
break;
Now when u finished entering, u will have all what u typed in array
sTrapped.
With this, though, u have to write some small code to handle backspace n
all, but thats not a problem.
regards,
SM
