Inputbox

Thank you for reading!

Do you know how can i put a password mask in
a InputBox? Is there any API capable to do that?

ThankX....

there is a property called PasswordChar for that.

best regards

Are you talking about about a text box? if so then

Code:

---

Text1.PasswordChar = "*"

---

will do the trick, or just go down in the textbox prperties untill you see "PasswordChar" Then type the mask that you want in there. (ie. *)

Hope that helped,

Sergio_campos is talking about an InputBox!

NOT a textbox!

Code:

---


'set the input of an input box to password characters


'---bas module code--

Option Explicit

Public Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long

Public Declare Function FindWindowEx Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowExA" (ByVal hWnd1 As Long, ByVal hWnd2 As Long, ByVal lpsz1 As String, ByVal lpsz2 As String) As Long

Public Declare Function SetTimer& Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd&, ByVal nIDEvent&, ByVal uElapse&, ByVal lpTimerFunc&)

Public Declare Function KillTimer& Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd&, ByVal nIDEvent&)
Public Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any) As Long
Public Const NV_INPUTBOX As Long = &H5000&
Public Const EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR = &HCC
Public Sub TimerProc(ByVal hwnd&, ByVal uMsg&, ByVal idEvent&, ByVal dwTime&)
    Dim myHwnd As Long
'Change here App.Title (defoult InputBox Caption) into your caption
    myHwnd = FindWindowEx(FindWindow("#32770", App.Title), 0, "Edit", "")
    Call SendMessage(myHwnd, EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, 42, 0)
    KillTimer hwnd, idEvent
End Sub

'--Using - form code:
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim sPass As String
SetTimer hwnd, NV_INPUTBOX, 10, AddressOf TimerProc
sPass = InputBox("Set Password")
End Sub
