This style causes the every character in the entry-field value to be masked. Normally used for passwords.

By default, asterisks are used to mask the content of the field, but you can choose another character by setting the iscobol.gui.secure_char configuration property.

By default, the number of masked characters matches with the lenght of the field value, but you can choose to show a fixed number of masked characters by setting the iscobol.gui.secure_num_chars configuration property.

 

Example - Define an entry-field for password management with secured character entry and display
