PassDialog: is it possible to change its behaviour?
Hello everybody

From my experience with PassDialog (using a PassDialog::InitDialog, with username and password authentication), I realized that it automatically erases user's password once he/she clicks on next; can I decide when to erase it / or even make it not disappear at all?

Second question: is it possible to give focus to the username field once the user enters the auth page?

Thanks a lot

1. Use the /USERTEXT and /PASSTEXT parameters with variables that will store the username and password.
2. System::Call "user32::SetFocus(i $R0, i 0x0007, i,i)i"
where $R0 is the HWND of the box.

Still with problems...

I am using this code to make the auth dialog appear:


UserPassPageShow

 

 !insertmacro MUI_HEADER_TEXT "$(msg_auth_enter)" "$(msg_auth_enter_to_continue)."


 PassDialog::InitDialog /NOUNLOAD UserPass /HEADINGTEXT $(msg_auth_enter_to_continue2)  

  /GROUPTEXT $(msg_auth) /USERTEXT $(msg_auth_username) "$R6" /PASSTEXT $(msg_auth_passwd) "$R7"

 Pop $R0 # Page HWND

    

  ## Control ID's

 !define IDC_USERNAME 1215

 !define IDC_PASSWORD 1214


  GetDlgItem $R1 $R0${IDC_USERNAME}

  SetCtlColors $R1 0x000000 0xFFFFFF

  GetDlgItem $R1 $R0${IDC_PASSWORD}

  SetCtlColors $R1 0x000000 0xFFFFFF


System::Call "user32::SetFocus(i $R0, i 0x0007, i,i)i"  

 PassDialog::Show

System::Call "user32::SetFocus(i $R0, i 0x0007, i,i)i"


>FunctionEnd 

>

and I use this


UserPassPageLeave    

    ## Pop password & username from stack

    Pop $R6

    Pop $R7

    (...)

>FunctionEnd 

>

to get username/password and validate them.

Using the solutions you gave, I noticed no difference:
-the username doesn't get focus on the first time the user accesses auth dialog
-the password is being erased when I return to the auth dialog

Am I doing something wrong?

The password will still be cleared when you call Abort in the Leave function. This is by design.
I told you that $R0 in the SetFocus call needed to contain the HWND of the username box.
See attached script.

That example had everything i wanted, except for the erase password feature.

Thanks a lot!
