Hi,

     There is no builtin functionality to do but we can achieve it in some other way

     Check the below link

http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/jscript/scripting-password-prompts-

Sub ShowPopup

          ' InputDlg.vbs

Dim Dialog, Password

' Callout A

Set Dialog = CreateObject("InputDlg.Dialog")

' End Callout A

' Callout B

Dialog.MaskInput = True

' End Callout B

Password = Dialog.InputBox("Please enter a password.", "Demo Script")

msgbox Password

End Sub

Hi,

There is no such functionality in QlikView, the InputBox() prompts for a value and assigns it to a varible. Depending on what you want to get yoy might use one way ot the other.

Regards.
