Need more info on xfa.host.response() method

[skriw]

Hi,

I have applied xfa.host.response method on a field. When I 'enter' the field I get a dialoge box. Even though I give a value or with default value , the value is encrypted. When I click OK, I can't see anything in the text box. Why is this?

Thanks,

Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,

Without seeing your code it is difficult to tell, but I place this code

this.rawValue = xfa.host.response("Question", "Title", "Default Value");

on the enter event of a text field and it works as I would expect.

( the value the user enters into the dialogue is transferred to the text box)

Hope this helps

Hi Malcolm,

Thanks.

But when the value the user enters transfers from the dialogue box to the textbox, the value is not masked (as ***). Why?

Thanks,

Hi,

The value is not masked because it looks like you are using a normal TextField in order to make the asterix stay you need to change this to use a Password field from the object library.

Hope this helps
