Hi!

I'm looking for direction please! I have a field on an existing piece of software that is used to enter a user password. The field is not required by the software to have any value entered, but in order for us to ensure compliance, we need the users to enter some sort of password.

I checked through the forum and didn't see anything under the field validation that would work (they all seemed to be validating an existing GUI). I would be able to supply the field name and window name, so I was wondering if anybody knew how I might go about this.

couple of quesitons:
Does the password field use masking characters? ( eg. ******** )
Do the field(s) belong to a web or standalone application?
If the latter,
Can you see the control name of the field using AU3spy.exe
Code:
run % a_programfiles "\autohotkey\AU3_Spy.exe"
?

Please explain :)

You were correct in the fact that the field does use the masking characters, but there's no text displayed in the either the visible or hidden text.

Sorry, I should have included that the field is part of a standalone piece of software.

What about the ClassNN in AU3spy.exe?
