Hello,
LC 9.0, dp4, Win10: Fiddling around creating a password field I am
encountering a very weird phenomenon. Stepping thru my code with the
debugger my code modifies my code instead of a field. Recipie:
- Create a new stack
- Create a new field
- Put the code into the field:
on keyDown pKey
put numToChar(42) into the selectedChunk -- numToChar(42): "*"
end keyDown
- Apply the code
- Set a breakpoint (red dot) at the only statement
- Switch to browse tool and enter one character into the field
- Use the "step into" for executing the code
- See what happened to your code?
- The complete line of code is replaced by an asterisk! Funny huh?
Any comments?
Tiemo
