SftMask/OCX 7.0 - ActiveX Masked Edit Control

PswdChar Property, SftMask Object

Defines the character used to mask password fields.

Syntax

Get

Put

object

A SftMask object.

Pswd

Defines the character used to mask password fields. Only one single character can be specified. If an empty string is specified, no password masking character is defined.

Comments

The PswdChar property defines the character used to mask password fields.

When used with a Masked Edit control (with Mask), all text defined using the <p subtoken is masked using the specified password character. It is possible to mask only portions of an edit control using the <p subtoken.

When used with a simple edit control (without Mask), all text is masked using the specified password character.

If no password masking character is defined, text is displayed as-is.

Examples

    AxSftMask1.Caption.SizePercent = 33
    AxSftMask1.Caption.Text = "&Password"
    AxSftMask1.PromptUnderline = False
    AxSftMask1.Mask = ""
    AxSftMask1.PswdChar = "*"
    AxSftMask1.MaxLength = 16
