Edit Box

A box in which text can be typed. Normally, when a dialog box opens, Edit Boxes are empty.

You can specify a default string to display, by assigning a value to the Variable before calling the Dialog function

Whatever the user types in the Edit Box is placed in the variable named in the Variable attribute

Note: Variable names that begin with "PW_", will be treated as password fields causing asterisks to be echoed for the actual characters that the user types.

The AskPassword function is a simple way of asking for a password. However, when a dialog must include additional information, the Dialog Editor can be used to create a custom password Edit Box.

Here's an example of how to incorporate a password field into a dialog box.
