password on inputbox?

[jaz215]

Hi.

I want the user to input a password on an inputbox. How do I make this without showing the actual password? In textboxes you can set the view to all ********. How do I do this in inputboxes?

You can't. The Inputbox() function shouldn't even be used in a real application. It's just a "quick and dirty" way to grab something from the user, really only appropriate for use during development or in things like a utility you will just use yourself.

You can design a small form of the size of inputbox for the same functionality there you can use textbox with password character.

Hi jaz215

I agree with debasisdas. You can design any thing you want with your form better than using an inputbox.

I think a lot of people will not agree with me, I think inputbox is obsolete : )

HI..

you are right, but not just it obsolete, but with current situation, he need to print * instead of Original character, you can do that by using FindWindow and SendMessage With ES_PASSWORD Style but take in your mind that inputbox displayed as Model dialog and InputBox() function does not return until user press enter or cancel, this mean you need to create another thread before calling InputBox Function , and then use FindWindow and SendMessage Function, simply Design new form is the Best one
