property

Summary

Syntax

Description

Use the passKey property to unlock a password -protected stack.

If a stack has been locked against modification with a password, you can set the passKey property of the stack to the correct password to unlock the stack. Setting the passKey property is the script equivalent of typing the password into LiveCode's password dialog box. Use this property if you want to perform password authentication in a handler.

Script only stacks are unable to be password protected. In order to password protect a script only stack use the following commands.

    set the scriptOnly of stack \"Secrets\" to false
    set the password of stack \"Secrets\" to field \"Password\"

Examples

set the passKey of this stack to field "Challenge"
