Hi folks,
I am wondering if anyone can help me here. Users have asked for the ability to paste a password from one application to a progress application. I see that by default you can not paste into a password field in Windows. I can paste into a password field in progress under Unix. I don't think this is a windows restriction as I can paste my password into other applications no problem.
I have looked at the trapping the CTRL-V and SHIFT-INS keys as a workaround and assign the field the value of the clipboard. This works, but then the problem I have is this doesn't allow the user to paste when the right click on a password field and selects paste from the menu.
Is there any field option I can change to allow a password be pasted by default?
Or alternatively is there a trigger I can use to trap the paste action on a field.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
Finally would anyone know if this is a progress bug on windows or if this is windows restricting what progress can do?
