password as asterix in input box 1

[JaredTaylor74]

Is there a way to display the password typed in an inputbox as asterix?

i have a form that has a button on it, when clicked, the input box asks for a password, if it is correct, another form opens, if it is not they get an error message. just want to protect that password a little.

thanks

You have to create your own little popup form with a TextBox having the InputMask property set to "password"

Hope This Helps, PH.

There is a FAQ on using XP type password instead of asterix. (I have not got this to work, with my application). But as PHV said having the InputMask property set to "password" will give asterix.
