Overview
By default, in password controls, characters are replaced with dots.
It is now possible to display these characters in a readable format (security risks must be taken into account).
From version 18 onwards, the user can click on a visualization icon next to the field: for the duration of the click, the password will be visible.. This allows the user to check the password.












A specific icon

Implementation

Starting with version 18, this icon is included by default.
This icon can be configured (like all the options included in the AAFs). For more details, see Configuring the AAF menus.
To prevent the user from showing the password in a given Edit control, use AAFDisable with the aafDisplayPassword constant.
Warning: When assigning a "Password" input field by programming (e.g., assignment by operator "=" or by function FileToScreen), the display icon is not shown for security reasons..
Tip: To bypass this behavior, simply assign the content via the SendKey function:
// Assigns a password via SendKey
SendKey(GeneratePassword(18), Handle(EDT_Password))
Minimum version required
  • Version 18
