RE: Bullet font

#1

Thanks Matt, Harry.

I actually have created my own bullet font, but had read that FM6 and
later had this capability built-in. I was trying to avoid having to
install my font on all machines using the solution.

It's unfortunate that the only way to get this is through the custom
dialog box; won't work for my purpose. Would have been very nice had FMI
decided to add this as a text formatting option.

At least now I know where to find the "built-in functionality".

This is one of those dumb nits that bugs me.

I know that FM6 (I think) introduced the ability to display a field
using bullets instead of a regular font. The purpose was to give a
secure way of entering passwords.

I've researched and found a number of references to this capability,
but nowhere can I find HOW to do it. I've looked at FM docs, FMP
help, a couple of excellent books and other places, and am totally
stumped.

Can somebody please tell me how to do this?

Thanks,
Abbott

The only reference I can find is in the Custom Dialog script step.

You can define up to three inputs, any or all using password
characters to obscure the value.
