PASSWORDCHAR Property

8.7C, PLBCMP GUI Only

 

The PASSWORDCHAR property defines the character echoed for each character entered into the object that has the PASSWORD property set. The property uses the following format:

PASSWORDCHAR[={value}]

Note the following:

  1. PASSWORDCHAR may be used in CREATE, GETPROP, or SETPROP statements of an EDITTEXT or RICHEDITTEXT object.

  2. This property is used in conjunction with the PASSWORD property.

  3. {value} is a Character String Variable or literal defining the character displayed in place of the characters typed by the user.

  4. Normal and expected behavior using the PASSWORDCHAR property for the Windows EDITTEXT and RICHEDITTEXT objects requires that the password character value should be a 7-bit value ( 0 to 127 ). If the password character value is set to an 8-bit value ( 128 to 255 ), unexpected behavior(s) may occur for the Windows EDITTEXT and RICHEDITTEXT objects..
