Glossary Item Box

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

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Property PasswordChar As Char
Visual Basic (Usage)Copy Code
Dim instance As GcTextBoxCellType
Dim value As Char
 
instance.PasswordChar = value
 
value = instance.PasswordChar
C# 
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.
C#Copy Code
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;
VB.NETCopy Code
Dim gctext As New GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBoxCellType()
gctext.PasswordChar = Chr(65)
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(0, 0).CellType = gctext
