passwordchar problems

[rothj0hn]

help!

one of my text box just act weird lately.
before the passwordchar works but all of a sudden it was messed up..

now my textbox display normal values not passwordchar(*). ive already check its properties. then also tried to delete this textbox and create a new one with same name then change it passwordchar properties but it still fails to display. it just display normal text.

i just pass values to the textbox from a variable

txtPIN.text = variablename

        Me.txtPIN.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Tahoma", 11.0!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular)
        Me.txtPIN.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(87, 41)
        Me.txtPIN.Name = "txtPIN"
        Me.txtPIN.PasswordChar = Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.ChrW(42)
        Me.txtPIN.ReadOnly = True
        Me.txtPIN.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(120, 24)
        Me.txtPIN.TabIndex = 59
        Me.txtPIN.TabStop = False

whats wrong with it?
