- If you are using MacApp 2.0, this is very easy. I haven't used the concept
- but it should be fine. The solution was figured out before I saw MacApp 2.0
- which allows it to be implemented without difficulty.
-
- Just create a special bullet only font. To keep things small you can define
- the font to have only one character. Prowl the TOPS software for an example.
- Then assign the font used for the TextEdit to be your special font using
- ViewEdit.
-
- You will also probably want to disable Copy/Cut/Paste so that the password
- cannot be placed on the clipboard and break security.
-
- Internationalization may also be interesting for the 2-byte character
- languages.

- Sub: Password Entry in Modal Dialog
-
- Greetings all,
-
- I'm very new on the MacApp scene, have been reading through all the archived
- MACAPP.TECH$ notes -- trying to find a clean and simple method for doing a
- password entry field from within a modal dialog. You know the type: you enter
- "WHIZZY" in the field and only "••••••" gets displayed. I'm sure someone out
- there has done this work already, can you help?
-
- Also, what's all this about EditText.DoSubstitution(). What can it do for me?
-
- I'm not on the MACAPP.TECH$ distribution list, please send me a direct
- response.
-
- I Am, therefore I be,
