Question:
Is it possible to mask the values being typed on a setpoint, and have asterisks be displayed instead?
Solution:
There are no properties or functions in the SetPoint that hide the typed value and display “******” instead.
Alternatively, you can try one of the following:
- Using a font that is not supported by SCADA, like “MV Boli”, for example. Thus, for every typed character, the following will be displayed “[]”.
- Set the SetPoint’s font color as the same one in the background color, so the text will become invisible.
- Instead of a SetPoint, use a button that executes PasswordDlg() function. This function opens a message box with a field for typing data, and this data is then masked with asterisks.
