PasswordChar Property (GcCharMaskCellType)

Gets or sets the character used to mask characters of a password in the control.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Property PasswordChar As Char

'Usage
 
Dim instance As GcCharMaskCellType
Dim value As Char
 
instance.PasswordChar = value
 
value = instance.PasswordChar

public char PasswordChar {get; set;}

Property Value

The character used to mask characters entered in the control. Sets the value of this property to 0 (character value) if you do not want the control to mask characters as they are typed. Equals 0 (character value) by default.

Remarks

The PasswordChar can be used to create a password field in a dialog box. Although you can use any SBCS character, most Windows-based applications use the asterisk (*) (Chr(42)).

This property does not affect the GrapeCity.Win.Text property. The Text contains exactly what the user types or what was set from code. Setting the PasswordChar to 0, which is the default, will display the actual text in the control.

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 2000 Professional (SP4), Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2003 Server (SP1), Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 2008, Windows XP (SP2), Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
