Password Input Properties

The Attributes section includes the object name.

Name	Enter a name for the object. This is the name of the object as it will show in field chooser, the Navigation panel and other object lists.

We strongly recommend that each input object is given a suitable and unique name that reflects the data that will be held within it. The object name will, very likely, be referred to when adding behavior and workflow logic as well as when designing reports.

The Behavior section lists possible events on the object that can prompt a behavior to run.

Password Input Changes Field Data

This event occurs when an app user enters data into the password input object.

Key is Pressed

This event occurs when an app user enters data into the password input object.

Password Input Gains Focus

This event occurs when the password input object becomes the active field.

Password Input Loses Focus

This event occurs when the password input object is exited.

Password Input is Clicked

This event occurs when an app user clicks on the password input object.

This event is different than Password Input Gains Focus in that the app user must mouse-click on the object in order for the event to occur and any linked behavior commands to run.

Password Input is Shown

This event occurs when the password input object is shown.

The settings section includes the character options, minimum and maximum number of characters, required characters, alignment, encryption, mandatory answer, positioning, tabbing, tool-tip and accessibility.
