Set or return the invisible attribute for screenfield (ScreenField class)


This property sets or gets the Invisible attribute for a ScreenField. If this value is True, any data in the field will not be displayed on the terminal. This is typically used for password prompts or other private data. This attribute is initially set for a field by the AddField method). If False, the screenfield data is displayed on the terminal.

Syntax

%currentBoolean = sfield:Invisible sfield:Invisible = newBoolean

Syntax terms

bool A Boolean enumeration. Valid values are True and False (the default).
%sfield A reference to an instance of a ScreenField object.

Usage notes

The Invisible attribute does not encrypt or suppress transmission of data over the network. It is intended to minimize theft of private data at terminals situated in nonprivate areas.

The Invisible attribute can be applied to protected or to non-protected fields.
