Hi,

I have a table with 2 fields userid (userinfo.userid) and password.

I am creating a form for the above table. I added a grid with a userid field and a password method field with passwordstyle set to YES. Instead of showing password in dots (password style) , the password is shown in text.

Could some one help out what went wrong

FormRun method:

void writeTable()

{

SMCpersonalizationUsers_ds.write();

}

here is the password method code:

DataSource method: (this is the password method)

//BP deviation documented

edit Password password(boolean set, SMCPersonalizationUsers _SMCPerForms, Password _password)

{

if(set)

{

if(!SMCPersonalizationUsers.RecId)

element.writeTable();

_SMCPerForms.Password = Cryptography::encrypt(savepassword, int2str(any2int(_SMCPerForms.RecId)));

}

return _SMCPerForms.Password;

}

password string control --> validate method

Boolean validate()

{

boolean ret;

ret = super();

savepassword = this.text();

if (Cryptography::encrypt(savepassword, int2str(any2int(sMCPersonalizationUsers.RecId))) == sMCPersonalizationUsers.Password)

{

Box::stop("Password already in use");

this.setFocus();

return false;

}

return ret;

}

Thanks,

Lakshmi

Do you have the same problem if you bind your control to a field instead of a method?

Hi Martin,

I have the same problem. But when I keep the cursor on the password field, it is showing it as dots and when I move the cursor to another field, it is showing as text. Password method field also shows the same behavior.

Thanks,

Lakshmi

I'm not sure what you mean by "password method field". Please give me a favour: create a completely new form and try a PassworkStyle field (no method!) there. If it doesn't work, make sure that you have all updates and if you do, report a bug to Microsoft.

If it works, try it with a method.

This will make sure that the problem isn't caused by some code in your own form.

Hi Martin,

that's what I told in my previous post. I tried a new form with a password style field and it also did not work. Password method field means a string control by passing the password method. Both are not working. I am not sure this is a Microsoft bug because many create password field related forms in Dynamics AX. I think I am missing something that is causing the error.

another point:-

in your edit method you re using return Type s Password; I m not sure which this DataType(EDT) represent.

instead, you may give a try to use DataType/EDT SMTPPassword as can be seen in a standard implementation at following path

AOT\Forms\SysEmailParameters\Data Sources\SysEmailSMTPPassword\Methods\setPassword

I found the problem. The reason for password field fluctuating between text and password style is because the password field is in a grid.

I moved the field to Group and the field is working fine.

Thanks for everyone who tried to help me.

Yes, If you move field from the grid, No need edit Password method to write, by setting property itself it works..
