Password Reveal On Button/Mouse Down

[NassauSky]

I am so close to getting a password show/reveal button working but not quite there.  This sample works on the second mouse down event. I can't figure out what's going on yet.

 

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <Misc.au3>
Local $hDLL = DllOpen("user32.dll")
$hGUI = GUICreate("Test", 500, 200)
$cInput = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 10, 10, 200, 20, BitOR($GUI_SS_DEFAULT_INPUT, $ES_PASSWORD))
$cCheck = GUICtrlCreateButton("Show Password", 10, 50, 150, 20)
GUISetState()


$sDefaultPassChar = GUICtrlSendMsg($cInput, $EM_GETPASSWORDCHAR, 0, 0);Retrieve the ASCII value of the default password char
While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $cCheck
            While 1
               ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Left Mouse was pressed." & @CRLF)
               GUICtrlSendMsg($cInput, $EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, $sDefaultPassChar, 0)
               GUICtrlSetState($cInput, $GUI_FOCUS)
               While _IsPressed("01", $hDLL) ; Wait until mouse is released.
                     Sleep(20)
               WEnd
               ConsoleWrite("_IsPressed - Left Mouse was released." & @CRLF)
               GUICtrlSendMsg($cInput, $EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, 0, 0)
               GUICtrlSetState($cInput, $GUI_FOCUS)
               ExitLoop
               Sleep(20)
            WEnd
    EndSwitch
WEnd
DllClose($hDLL)

 

Thanks for any help.
