Re: Blurring field contents

Thanks for all the suggestions, but blur works really well. I just take a snapshot of the field, blur the resultant image, overlay it on the confidential field, snapshot the entire card to clipboard and then delete the blurred image. I had to manually include it in the standalone, though,

Or make a generic "blur" image in a graphics program and overlay it on the fields when needed. -- Jacqueline Landman Gay | jac...@hyperactivesw.com HyperActive Software | http://www.hyperactivesw.com On March 30, 2018 9:07:48 AM Rick Harrison via use-livecode

You could also make up bogus text data to show instead of using real data. Rick > On Mar 29, 2018, at 11:48 PM, scott--- via use-livecode > wrote: > > If blurring turns out to be too problematic you might consider just replacing > text with bullets or Lorem

If blurring turns out to be too problematic you might consider just replacing text with bullets or Lorem Ipsum. -- Scott Morrow > On Mar 29, 2018, at 1:41 PM, David V Glasgow via use-livecode > wrote: > > > >> On 29 Mar 2018, at 5:44 pm, Paul Hibbert via

Re: Blurring field contents

You could set the imagesource of the characters into the field, take the snapshot, then "set the text of field "whatever" to the text of field "whatever" to revert. Did a quicky test, and it seems to work well enough. local simageOn on mouseup lock screen if sImageOn is empty then put false
