There have been discussions about the old password font: %password.
This doesn't work in ALP (v9.x)
I'm using it to mask data in ALP
Anybody know a font to use or other technique?

Phil,
Thanks for the update...
Is there a way to make this work with the AL_SetCellTextProperty command?
If I use ALP_Cell_FormattedValue this generates an error.
Thanks...

Randy,
The bullet character is Unicode 8226 (0x2022):
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U2000.pdf on page 2
Any of these will work:
AL_SetColumnTextProperty ($area; $column; ALP_Column_Format; ".")
AL_SetColumnTextProperty ($area; $column; ALP_Column_Format; Char(8226))
AL_SetColumnTextProperty ($area; $column; ALP_Column_Format; Char(0x2022))
The manual has now been updated, see page 64.

Randy,
Me too....
Everyone keeps saying the %password font works, but I can't make it. Maybe
it's just me and I'm doing something wrong.
This did work in earlier versions, but in V13 it is not working for us. We
have had to resort to the character by character masking.

Hi Tim,
Thanks for the idea.
In this case, I just want to display so values (actually: registration numbers) in a "masked font"
There is no entry for this particular portion of this feature

Hi Tim,
Thanks for this,
I checked through ALP 9.7 docs and couldn't find anything.
The fact that they say it is hopeful!

We convert all values into asterisks. We just check as each character is
