PasswordChar Property (GcTextBoxCellType)
Example 


GrapeCity.Win.PluginInputMan Assembly > GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType Namespace > GcTextBoxCellType Class : PasswordChar Property
Gets or sets the character used as a placeholder for the characters typed by the user.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property PasswordChar As Char
'Usage
 
Dim instance As GcTextBoxCellType
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 a single-line control. Set 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 GcTextBox.Text property. GcTextBox.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.

Example
This example uses the PasswordChar property.
GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType gctext = new GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType();
gctext.PasswordChar = Convert.ToChar("A");
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 0].CellType = gctext;
Dim gctext As New GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType()
gctext.PasswordChar = Chr(65)
fpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(0, 0).CellType = gctext
