I think what you need is probably the INVISIBLE attribute : http://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/?path=fjs-fgl-manual#c_fgl_FSFAttributes_INVISIBLE.html Feel free to let me know if you have any other question.

Please don't take this the wrong way but what terms did you use or how did you search the documentation? You are not the first person to ask this question in recent months so it would be interesting to know how you approached the problem.

i just searched like the keywords in the subject. Example password, edit hide text ..... So the search was unable to find my keywords. If the invisible Attribute had some references to password key words that would be nice. INVISIBLE attribute The INVISIBLE attribute prevents user-entered data from being echoed on the screen during an interactive statement.

INVISIBLE attribute The INVISIBLE attribute prevents user-entered data from being echoed on the screen during an interactive statement. search on "password" and the EDIT page is the 3rd last of over 50 search results, so understandable that it is not found. Search on "EDIT password" and the EDIT page with the reference to password and invisible is the top result. I don't know how far up the search results the INVISIBLE page will move up the search results if it has the word password in it, but only one way to find out. I suspect it will still get buried in amongst database connection and web services that also require passwords so the best technique is to add a UI term such as EDIT into the search expression. I suppose the other thing to be aware of, is that this would either be - a specialised widget - an attribute for EDIT - or a presentation style. So FormItem types http://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/#c_fgl_FormSpecFiles_elements.html allows you to search through the widgets To list attributes for a partricular widget, start from the widget page http://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/#c_fgl_FormSpecFiles_EDIT.html and then either http://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/#c_fgl_FormSpecFiles_EDIT_Item_Type.html or if using stack http://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/#c_fgl_FormSpecFiles_EDIT_stack_item.html To list presentation styles, look in the reference http://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/#c_fgl_presentation_styles_019.html (either common or for the widget) Once you realise that then you can just iterate through those pages in the documentation when you are looking for a widget/attribute/style to do something in particular.
