DCGET PASSWORD Not Working On Windows98

[GeneB]

Since build 255, DCGET PASSWORD is not showing * when typing, it is showing the actual character typed, but only on the Windows 98 machines.

How is your code different than the below code? This works fine.

Code: Select all

#INCLUDE "dcdialog.CH"

FUNCTION Main()

LOCAL GetList[0], cPassword := Space(10)

@ 0,0 DCSAY 'Enter Password' GET cPassword PASSWORD SAYSIZE 0 SAYBOTTOM

DCREAD GUI FIT

RETURN nil


PROC appsys ; return

My code

Code: Select all

   @ 0,0 DCSTATIC TYPE XBPSTATIC_TYPE_RECESSEDBOX ;
      SIZE 40,3 ;
      OBJECT oPW

   @ 1,1 DCSAY "Enter " + cPwLevel + " Password"  ;
      GET cPassword  ;
      PASSWORD ;
      NOCONFIRM ;
      SAYTOOLTIP "enter 'reset' to change" ;
      GETTOOLTIP "enter 'reset' to change" ;
      PARENT oPw

   DCREAD GUI ;
      TITLE "Password" ;
      ADDBUTTONS ;
      ENTEREXIT ;
      MODAL ;
      EVAL {|o| SetAppWindow(o)} ;
      SETAPPWINDOW ;
      FIT

When I compile your code, it works fine.

Please compile your sample and send it to me as an EXE.

Attached, along with the prg and xpj. The xpj has some extra 'stuff' in it but that might be clues to the failure.
Thanks.

Your testpw.exe works fine. Shows asterisks.

Now send me your dclipx.dll.

Roger, next time feel free to just say "Hey Einstein, did you update the dll's on those 98 machines?"
They are old warehouse stations, use a dummed down version of the main program that never calls more advanced features, and loaded fine with the '07 dlls. They did work since '07 with the GUI password routine but build 255 caught me.
Thanks for your time.

I thought it might be something like that.

Glad you got it working.
