SYMPTOM(s):
FILL-IN is a PASSWORD field
PASSWORD FILL-IN shows the wrong number of characters entered.
Number of asterisks shown in PASSWORD FILL-IN is the same as total number of characters allowed in FILL-IN FORMAT.
FILL-IN widget is populated using an ON CHOOSE trigger of a BUTTON, containing an APPLY <character> TO <fill-in-name> statement.
Problem does not occur when FILL-IN:SCREEN-VALUE is used in the trigger.
FACT(s) (Environment):
Windows
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
This is a known issue.
FIX:
Trigger code with workaround:
ON CHOOSE OF BUTTON-1 IN FRAME DEFAULT-FRAME
DO:
fill-in-1:SCREEN-VALUE = fill-in-1:SCREEN-VALUE + "A".
END.
