String user input

You should use either EchoEnabled or EchoMode, but not both. EchoMode allows you to specify the password mode, whereas the EchoEnabled allows only the states enabled or disabled.

You use the Echo Character element to control how user input is shown during run time. Possible values are Yes, No, and Password.

• If the element is set to Yes, then during run time the string characters are shown in the input edit box. Input can only be enabled. Password character and encryption are disabled.

• If the element is set to No, then during run time the input characters are not shown in the input edit box. Input can only be enabled. Password character and encryption are disabled.

• If the element is set to Password, then during run time the password character is shown instead of the password typed by the user. A password character is optional, but if specified, cannot be empty. The default password character is an asterisk. Encryption is optional and is off by default. Input only is mandatory and is forced on.

If the elements do not match these criteria, then default options are used.

You can specify the following elements for a string user input animation link.

Example:

<UserInputString>

<Title>UserInputString1</Title>

<InputOnly>false</InputOnly>

<KeyAssignment>

<KeyCode>F1</KeyCode>

<KeyFlags>Ctrl</KeyFlags>

</KeyAssignment>

<Message>Select Pump</Message>

<Expression>mTag001</Expression>

<EchoCharacters>true</EchoCharacters>

<EncryptEnabled>false</EncryptEnabled>

<PasswordCharacter>*</PasswordCharacter>

</UserInputString>

Minimal example:

<UserInputString>

<Message>Select Pump</Message>

<Expression>mTag001</Expression>

<EchoCharacters>true</EchoCharacters>

</UserInputString>
