Password dialog box

pvar

Is there a way I can accept a password through a dialog box but not displaying what the user type(* instead), something similar to PasswordText property of a textbox on a form? Thanks.

Why not just make the font color of the text box white?

pvar

I don't have a textbox, the password is inputed to a variable of the dialog like below.

gdlgWindow.INPUT(1,gtxtPassword);

I would not use the window Dialog. The dialog is a very limited variable in Navision.
It is better to create a form.

pvar

I tried using a form first but I couldn't get the return action from the form properly and that is when I turned to dialog.

I need to achieve the following.

1. Continue the processing if the user input the correct password.
2. Abort the processing if the user Escaped or hit Cancel on the password form

How do I know if the user did one of the above from the calling function? Thanks for any help.

something like

variables:
gfrmFormPassword type form

gfrmFormPassword.LookUp(TRUE);

IF gfrmFormPassword.RUNMODAL = ACTION::LookupOK THEN
password := gfrmFormPassword.FunctionToReturnPassword
ELSE IF gfrmFormPassword.RUNMODAL = ACTION::LookupCANCEL THEN
........

pvar

Somehow this doesn't work. The control is not coming to the THEN part when the user type in the correct password. But if I change the ACTION to CLOSE it comes there, then the problem is it always comes to the THEN part( Even when the user hit Esc or click Cancel on the password form)

andreof

The user has to click ok after inserting password

pvar

Still doesn't work. This is the code in the calling function

gfrmPassword.LOOKUPMODE(TRUE);

IF gfrmPassword.RUNMODAL = ACTION::LOOKUPOK THEN
ChangeSubMenu(50242);

CLEAR(gfrmPassword);

and this is the code on the Onpush() of the Ok button on the Password form


IF gtxtPassword = 'IT' THEN
CurrForm.CLOSE
ELSE
MESSAGE('Wrong Password, Try again!');

The THEN part doesn't execute if the user type in IT as password

andreof

To work you cannot add code in the ok button. Try doing the validation after the password form is closed, or in the validate trigger of the password textbox.

andreof

or, if you prefer like you have now, do something like this:

VarOption integer

gfrmPassword.RUNMODAL;
gfrmPassword.GetValueOption(VarOption)

IF VarOption = 1 THEN
ChangeSubMenu(50242);

CLEAR(gfrmPassword);


On the password form create a global variable VarOption and function GetValueOption to return the value of VarOption

GetValueOption(var pVarOption)
{
pVarOption := VarOption
}

and this is the code on the Onpush() of the Ok button on the Password form


IF gtxtPassword = 'IT' THEN BEGIN
VarOption = 1
CurrForm.CLOSE;
END ELSE
MESSAGE('Wrong Password, Try again!');


Hope this helps
