HTA file - Clear password field when run...or even close window

I found the HTA script somewhere on the Exchange that prompts for user and password to map a drive. I modified the HTA to ask for password only to mount a TrueCrypt volume. What I would like is for either the password field to reset when you click the Open Volume button...or better yet, close the window. I am wondering if you can combine more than one thing to run at the "onClick=" for the button.

Thanks!

<script language="VBScript">

	Me.ResizeTo intWidth, intHeight
    Me.MoveTo ((Screen.Width / 2) - (intWidth / 2)),((Screen.Height / 2) - (intHeight / 2))
End Sub

'Set 
Sub Default_Buttons
	If Window.Event.KeyCode = 13 Then
		btn_runscript.Click
	End If
End Sub
 
Sub RunScript
	If Trim(txt_password.Value) = "" Then
		MsgBox "Please enter a password."
		txt_password.Focus
	Else
		strPassword = txt_password.Value
		
 
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run "c:\truecrypt.exe /v c:\testvol.100 /letter x: /auto /password " & strPassword

	End If
End Sub

...one other thing. What would I need to do so that the password field has focus when the form is opened?

Thanks again!

Just to answer your other question, to clear the password box use:

txt_password.Value = ""

Idle_Mind:

Thanks. The focus works perfect but I get "Error: Object doesn't support this property or method: 'btn_exit.Click'"

Mike Tomlinson

Hmm...I just copied and pasted your supplied code into a .txt file and renamed it .hta. Then I simply added "btn_exit.Click" to that 'Else' block after commenting out the Run() line. It correctly closed after clicking the button...

I'm running Win 7 Pro x64.

Instead of
btn_exit.Click

just use
window.close

Got it. My bad. I did a copy paste to add another button and didn't change the button name. There were duplicate btn_exit names. Everything works perfectly.

Thanks a bunch!

Mike Tomlinson

Thanks for the post Rob...I'm definitely no HTA expert. I assume that "window.close" would work no matter what since it doesn't rely on a specific button name?

RobSampson

Yes, that's right. It can be called anywhere.
