Password (Property)

In french: Password

Not available with these kinds of connection

The Password property can be used:

on the edit controls (or on the text table columns).
In this case, Password is used you to:
- find out whether an edit control is a "Password" control
- modify (if necessary) the password type of an edit control.
The "Password" option allows the user to type a text without this text being visible on the screen: all the characters typed are replaced with stars ("*").
Remark: The "Password" type is an option that applies to the edit controls. This option is found in the "General" tab of the control description.
on the connections (HFSQL Client/Server, OLE DB, etc.).
In this case, the Password property sets the password of the user using the connection. In this case, if the connection is currently opened, it will be closed and re-opened with the new parameters during the first access to a file that is using this connection.
Remark: The connection can correspond to:
- a connection described in the data model editor.
- a connection described by HConnect, HDescribeConnection or HOpenConnection.
- a connection described by a Connection variable.

Example

// Is the "EDT_BankAccount" control a "Password" control?
ResPassword = EDT_BankAccount.Password

MyConnection is Connection
// Describe the connection
MyConnection.User = "USER"
MyConnection.Password = "PASSWORD"
MyConnection.Server = "MYSERVER"
MyConnection.Database = "Database"
MyConnection.Provider = hAccessHFClientServer
MyConnection.Access = hOReadWrite
MyConnection.ExtendedInfo = "Extended information"
MyConnection.CursorOptions = hClientCursor

HOpenConnection(MyConnection)

[ + ] The WD Password example is a "password chest". It can be used to manage the passwords created when using Internet sites but also passwords created for everyday life (such as PIN numbers, ATM codes, ....).
The security of the data is guaranteed by the use of HFSQL encryption. Therefore, even if the files containing this information happen to be stolen, this information cannot be used without knowing the main password.
The example can also be used to generate very strong passwords.
