Creating Parameter

[faithict]

I created a method in C# where it will connect to a SQL database. However the parameters that the method is taking in is user name and password. I am wondering if NI TestStand do support flow developer to create a parameter where when upon running the TS flow, user enter the password, it will automatically in encrypted (eg, ****) instead of showing out the actual password for security purposes. Thanks in advanced.

Hey faithict,

To accomplish this, you could use an Action step and write a code module in the language you're familiar with. For example, in LabVIEW you could use a string control, set the display type to "Password", and simply have the code module return that password value. It's not possible to do this with a TestStand Message Popup, but it can be easily done with external code.
