Password char

[SlimShady]

If I enable the $ES_PASSWORD style I see the stars. But I want to change to stars to something else.

1. I'm making my own version of the inputbox

2. I tried DllCall and GUICtrlSendMsg

Let me try something.... Nope.

3. Tried to enable the $ES_PASSWORD style

Result: Whatever I do I can only get the stars to show up.

Can someone show me a (working) example of how to change the password char of an inputbox?

It could be that the $EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR is not correct.

Can someone verify this?

I have: $EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR = 0xCC

Here's my current script:

Didn't look at the dllcall but the GUICtrlSendMsg() works fine when you use the $Edit_1 handle in stead of the $Edit_Handle.....

$Res = GUICtrlSendMsg($Edit_1, $EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, Asc($gPswChr), 0)

Works great. Thanks man!

Edit:

I'm pretty much done. Are there people running an OS other than XP?

Can you run this script and check if you see bullets instead of stars?

Bullets... Works fine on Windows 2000 Professional.

I can test Windows NT 4.0 on Monday if necessary (work computers).

No, not necessary.

I justed wanted to be sure the bullets are visible in at least one non-XP OS.
