I need to accept password field on form. How do i make the field invisible in Baan 4 with GUI ? The attr.echo thing works in ascii but due to shadow effect, the field is still seen in GUI. Any ideas ?

Akshay,

Try this :

extern domain tcname oldpass, newpass, conpass, comm fixed
|****************************** form section **************

before.program:
inputfield.password("oldpass")
inputfield.password("newpass")
inputfield.password("conpass")

or search here I have already posted one utility to change password from BaaN.

Is this syntax for Baan V only? I can't seem to get it to work. Does anyone have an example?

inputfield.password() is a BaaN-5 series function.

I think in the BaaN-4 series form editor you have the option like "no echo back".

NPRao,

I have used the function inputfield.password() in Baan IV and it worked.

Benito, thats good to know. The function must have been ported back to the BaaN-4 releases. I checked in the BaaN-4 manual on this board and it didnt have this function and I do not have access to BaaN-4 environment to validate it. :)
