Bryan,

You can find documentation on using methods and events in the SAS Online
Help (Help->SAS System Help->Help on SAS Software Products->SAS/AF Software)
and in the OnlineDoc(SAS/AF).

For passwords, you may want to consider the text entry control.  It has a
maskCharacter attribute which allows a specified mask character to be
displayed in place of actual typed characters.

Hi,

Could someone please point me in the right direction on where I can
get some help on using methods and events.  I actually think I have
some understanding, but know I need to know more.

The current situation is this:
I want to create a password entry box, when the user enters their
password a '*' should be displayed insetad of the character.

Ii think I need to do something either on a value changed/text
changed/key event or get the _onvaluchaged method to do something.

Any pointers or links to online help would be very useful.  The only
other think I have thought about doing is to add my own method, and
link an event to this method.  Is this a good idea?

TIA

Bryan
