It's a non-issue though, as you can just set the UseSystemPasswo rdChar
property to true to have the TextBox use the system password character.

When I want the first character of a field to be Uppercased, I need to make an input mask, like >L< followed by ??????? for example. But this mask creates ____ in an unfilled field, which I don't like. How to get the fist character uppercased without an input mask or without ____ (underscores). When I click with the mouse on an empty field, it won't go to the far left side, cause of the input mask. How to avoid it? Bart

Hi Is it possible to mask console input in a c# console application? What I mean is: if I entered string "test" in the console, it'll echo "****"(or nothing) instead of the string "test". I've tried setting the foregroud color of the console the same as the backgroud color through native API, but it doesn't really hide the password, actually, users can manually change the foregroud color in a windows console window, or they can copy the...

I have created a console based application using C# which asks for the user identification to work using that system. Now, the problem is that i'm not able to hide or encrypt the password on the screen. I want to make it like "LINUX" in which only the user name is shown to the user and not the password. Can you provide some information on how I can implement this thing using C# (Remember it's a console based application)?

Hi everyone, I have a page with a login box. Because of lack of space, instead of labels I put the descriptive text in the input fields (so username input says 'username', and password input says 'password'). The password field however, once it does have the focus, it should mask its input. Now what I've done, and works in firefox, is onfocus="this.type='password'; this.value='';". (Its a bit more complex than that, but this is...

I have an unbound textbox that I want to restrict to 10 characters. I defined the mask as follows CCCCCCCCCC;;" " The problem is that the behavior of the cursor changed beyond my request. Normally, you click on an empty txtbox without the mask and the cursor goes to the first position. With a mask this is not the case. Additionally, if you have a one character txtbox mask set to C;;" " , it becomes very easy to inadvertently click on...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
