    Can the cash drawer be opened programatically?

    Paolo – There are already plugins doing similar things – http://filemaker-plugins.net/features/printing/

    Is it possible to use a plug-in to add to the layout features?

    In addition to edit box/radio button/drop down etc… I would like to use a password field – similar to a JPasswordField in java.

    I don’t think that’s possible James. But for your particular example you could just use a text field with a symbol font, but that would work in all situations.
