Hi,

I have a GET that is created from a resource file and is set as a password field.

Is there any way to change the character that is used to mask the password?
Currently it uses a fat pipe character (like "|" but thicker!).
Ideally I would like it to use the Windows default mask.

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Kind regards,

Barry O'Brien

P.S. Is it possible to add screenshots to my post without having to link to an external URL?

Try to use TAHOMA font, and will look like winXp password style.

Why don´t you add xp themes support to your .rc?

ifdef FLAT

1 24 ".\WinXP\WindowsXP.Manifest"

Barry,

Why don't you use this :

Code: Select all Collapse

REDEFINE oGET VAR cPassw ID 101 of oDlg PICTURE "!!!!!!"
oGET:lPassWord := .T.

If you type in the password, only asterisks will appear.

Good luck.

Thanks everyone for your input!

Biel's solution is the only one that I could get to work, but it does work perfectly for my needs.

Thanks again,

Barry
