Menustrip textbox and password char?

[J. Scott Elblein]

Hi

I'm trying to use a textbox on the menustrip for containing passwords, and there is no apparent PasswordChar property that I can hide visible passwords. Anyone know of a workaround?

thanks!

If you'd read the documentation for the ToolStripTextBox class you'd have seen that it has a TextBox property, described thusly:

Gets the hosted TextBox control.

Once you've got a reference to the TextBox object you can set its properties as you would any other, e.g.

Me.ToolStripTextBox1.TextBox.UseSystemPasswordChar = True

Thanks. Still a newb, I'm learning.

And in order to learn you should be consulting the Help documentation first every time you have a question.

lol, if you only knew how much time I spend trying to get some coding done and ending up staring at docs and help files all day and night instead...

Thanks for the slap on the hand/scolding though.
