or
do I need to write the new password to the database myself ?
2. I still need to intercept the self reset password window ( from the bottom of the Jiwa main screen - right click menu selection Change Password . How do I catch this pls ?
1. Yes, it will be passed through for you and you won't need to update the database. Just set the password property of the staff record and all should work.
2. I'll need to test this and see if there is a way - at first glance it doesn't appear so - strangely the change password dialog on the MDI Parent form is a different one to the one on the Staff Maintenance form - this is probably due to the "minimum effort" approach we took to getting version 6 to be upgraded to .NET - I can see some legacy VB6 style code in there - so it looks like some refactoring/redesigning work can be done on our part there - the ideal result will be to have both the staff maintenance form and the main MDI Parent use the same dialog, and have that accessible easily within our framework. Also the concept of a login and password challenge presented to the user upon accessing certain functions is a good idea - so we'll look at that also as a standard part of our framework.
