RE: Any issues with %password font on MacOS and 13.6?

2016-10-14 Thread Timothy Penner 
Hi Kirk,

I wouldn’t say it is discouraged - it is still documented in example 3 of 
OBJECT SET FONT:
http://livedoc.4d.com/4Dv15-R5/help/Command/en/page164.html#197877
Quote: "Note: You can use the %password option with field, variable and combo 
box type objects."

I had to search my sent items for 14045 to see what I said; it looks like I 
mentioned this tip in reference to the %password font not working with ALP...

Hi Chuck,
It turns out using the password font is discouraged in favor of capturing the 
characters from the screen, building the password in a hidden variable, and 
displaying a field with just asterisks or something else.

I seem to recall that it had been fixed at some point.  Still, I place it over 
an object using Wingdings (or similar) to mitigate any exposure.
