GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType.PasswordChar

PasswordChar Property

PasswordChar

Gets or sets the character used as a placeholder for the characters typed by the user.

Declaration

public char PasswordChar { get; set; }

Public Property PasswordChar As Char

Property Value

Type	Description
char	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 GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBox.Text property. GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.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.
