kjpolker Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ok so even after google and the help I was not able to find out how to change the symbols used in a text, instead of actually showing the text in a input box I want there to be astericks "*" or dots "•" exactly as if you were typing in your password on a website (a password is my input box). However it does not require a certain password I just want to hide the letters with one of the two symbols. P.S - The alt key code used to make a dot is Alt+0149. Not sure if that is required =/ Thank you so much for any answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Straight from HelpParameterstitle The title of the input box. prompt A message to the user indicating what kind of input is expected. default The value that the input box starts with. password char [optional] The character to replace all typed characters with. If you want the actual typed character to appear, define with an empty string ("") (default) or a space for the first character. If you provide a multiple-char string, only the first char is used for character masking. There are special meanings for the second and subsequent characters. See Remarks. 8) Edited October 9, 2009 by Valuater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjpolker Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ok I have one other small question that I thought would be best to just add to this thread rather than starting a whole new topic. I tried using the ShellExecute('PROGRAMNAME') command however the program I want to start is on a different partition on my hard drive, it is in Drive D: instead of C: I was looking for a way to be able to open up from different drives but making it universal like. I don't want to actually specify where the program is so if I am on the D: drive as my main drive (therefore it would really be c:) it can still locate the file, or if a friend had the programmed buried in some random drive (like f:) than it can STILL locate the program. Is this possible? Or do I absolutly have to tell it where the executable file is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valuater Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 That question should be in a different thread 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjpolker Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Ok I will make that, but this is my line and according to help command it should be perfect: $Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("Password", 102, 74, 137, 21, BitOR($ES_PASSWORD,$ES_AUTOHSCROLL)) However it DOES NOT put the letters in **** for some odd reason, I use Koda Design and it even transforms them into astericks there but still wont do anything when actually launching the program, I couldn't find any constants needed for it other than "#include <EditConstants.au3" Thanks for the help so far though =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
