[RESOLVED] Questions about textbox and combobox

[micki_free]

Hi guys, I have a few questions about both of these controls

1. Is there any way to mask the values being entered into a textbox? I want to use it as a password field.

2. Is there any way to restrict the valid entries in a combobox to the drop down list? I want users to be able to select from the values I have defined in the combobox but I don't want them to be able to enter their own values

1. Change the UseSystemPassChar property to True for the textbox in question
2. Change the DropDownStyle property to DropDownList on your combobox

(sorry if the property names arent 100% correct but you will be able to see which ones I mean when you look through the properties in the designer)
