Edit style problem (can't get $ES_PASSWORD to work)

[Spaldy]

Hey I can't seem to get my edit box to use the $ES_PASSWORD style however the additional style ($ES_CENTER) does work and i can't figure out how to get the password style to work but i got it right because the center works so i'm confused and need some help

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1); Change to OnEvent mode
$mainwindow = GUICreate("Password Please", 200, 150)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")
$okbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Check Password", 50, 100, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($okbutton, "Checkpassword")
$Edit = GUICtrlCreateEdit(""& @CRLF, 25, 20, 150, 60,$ES_PASSWORD+$ES_CENTER) 
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(2000); Idle around
WEnd

Func Checkpassword()
    GUICtrlRead($Edit)
    $Password = "password";Note: could make password anything here
    If GUICtrlRead($Edit) = $Password Then;password is correct
;Note: at this point @GUI_CtrlId would equal $okbutton,
;And @GUI_WinHandle would equal $mainwindow
;Note: option to put other func here
        Exit
        
    Else;Pasword is incorrect
;Note: option to put other func here
            MsgBox(48,"Oops!", "Wrong Password! Try Again...", 2)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func CLOSEClicked()
;Note: at this point @GUI_CTRLID would equal $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 
;and @GUI_WINHANDLE would equal $mainwindow 
  Exit
  EndFunc

Sorry if it's a bit messy but i only started using Autoit a month ago

#include <EditConstants.au3>

or

$ES_PASSWORD = 0x0020

[Andreik]

I changed some things

#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>

$mainwindow = GUICreate("Password Please", 200, 110)
$okbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Check Password", 50, 70, 100, 30)
$INPUT = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 25, 20, 150, 20,BitOR($ES_PASSWORD,$ES_CENTER))
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $MSG = GUIGetMsg()
    Select
        Case $MSG = $okbutton
            Checkpassword()
        Case $MSG = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSelect
WEnd

Func Checkpassword()
    GUICtrlRead($INPUT)
    $Password = "password";Note: could make password anything here
    If GUICtrlRead($INPUT) = $Password Then;password is correct
        MsgBox(0,"Check Password","Correct password")
;Note: at this point @GUI_CtrlId would equal $okbutton,
;And @GUI_WinHandle would equal $mainwindow
;Note: option to put other func here
        Exit
        
    Else;Pasword is incorrect
;Note: option to put other func here
            MsgBox(48,"Oops!", "Wrong Password! Try Again...", 2)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Hey thanks but that still doesn't get the Edit to replace characters to an asterix (*) it just changes the edit to a Input but it works and you can't argue with results!

I run the script from post#3

$ES_MULTILINE does not appear to be compatible with $ES_PASSWORD. I can't see a reason why you need a password protected edit box.....

Use GuiEdit.au3 UDF

expandcollapse popup

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <GuiEdit.au3>

Opt("GUIOnEventMode", 1); Change to OnEvent mode

$mainwindow = GUICreate("Password Please", 200, 150)
GUISetOnEvent($GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, "CLOSEClicked")

$okbutton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Check Password", 50, 100, 100, 30)
GUICtrlSetOnEvent($okbutton, "Checkpassword")

$hEdit = _GUICtrlEdit_Create($mainwindow, "", 25, 20, 150, 60, BitOR($ES_PASSWORD, $ES_CENTER))

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Sleep(2000); Idle around
WEnd

Func Checkpassword()
    $EditText = _GUICtrlEdit_GetText($hEdit)
    ConsoleWrite("!> Edit text: " & $EditText & @LF)
    $Password = "password";Note: could make password anything here
    If $EditText = $Password Then;password is correct
;Note: at this point @GUI_CtrlId would equal $okbutton,
;And @GUI_WinHandle would equal $mainwindow
;Note: option to put other func here
        Exit
        
    Else;Pasword is incorrect
;Note: option to put other func here
            MsgBox(48,"Oops!", "Wrong Password! Try Again...", 2)
    EndIf
EndFunc

Func CLOSEClicked()
;Note: at this point @GUI_CTRLID would equal $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE, 
;and @GUI_WINHANDLE would equal $mainwindow 
  Exit
  EndFunc

Thanks for all the help

I can't see a reason why you need a password protected edit box.....

this is just a small addition to a larger project of mine and i needed to add security to it
