Usage Notes

The control is pretty straightforward; the only thing to be aware of is:

To get the password from the field, you need to get the plainTextPassword of the control.
If the user hits the backspace or delete key, the password is cleared out.

The following tables show you how to interact with the DropTool from your scripts:
