Subject Re: PasswordMaskEF.cc bug? From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Wed, 21 Feb 2024 03:22:11 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Charlie, I mention the fix to get them included, below in response to Ken, et al, but if you want to exclude those characters, I'm afraid you'll have to define them, and exclude them in the PasswordMaskEF.cc file like the backspace, defines what to do if that key is pressed, etc. Lee On 2/20/2024 12:05 PM, Charlie wrote: > Hi...  I am using PasswordMaskEF.cc which works great except for one exception. > > When you input into the entryfield the mask solid dots show which is great.  But if you type for instance a / or ' not defined in the special characters case you see an unusual character in the entryfield instead of a dot.  This surprised me because I thought characters that aren't defined would just be ignored so the user can't type them in. > > I was also surprised when I tried to decode the password and the password was recognized with or without the undefined character. > > Is this a bug, or something you have to work around?  I am pretty sure my duflp copy is original. > > Please let me know if someone else ran into this and if it is fixable.   But now that I think about it, it may not be a problem since it works with or without the illegal character.  It just causes confusion at least to me.   Thanks
