Hiding Password

[Thabos]

Hi, I have a vi (attached below) which prompt the user to enter the operator and the password. So I would like to know if there is a means of hiding the password character when the user is entering so that other people do not see what is being entered.

Thanks!!!

The express VI does not directly support this, but you can do the following:

Right-cllick the "prompt user for input" express VI and "Open front panel". Select "Convert" when prompted.

RIght-click the password entry box and select "password display". Save the new subVI and use it as a substitute.

Hello Thabos,

As I'm using LabVIEW 7.1 I'm unable to open your VI... But if you want to hide the password just go to the properties of that control/indicator in which you are typing password and select "Display Style - Password"... That's it.... 🙂

Hope it helps you... Best luck 🙂
