Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
SYMPTOM(s):
Can copy and paste from a field defined as BLANK
CAUSE:
Fields defined as BLANK in a FRAME are used for inputting passwords.
The ability to cut and paste from such fields represents a mild security risk.
FIX:
The workaround is to:
- Define your own pop-up menu for the BLANK field; this way, the default pop-up menu (which contains the Cut/Copy options) will not pop up.
- Define a trigger for key CTRL-C as in the following:
ON CTRL-C OF myBlankField IN FRAME myFrame DO:
RETURN NO-APPLY.
END.
