PasswordTextBox

[specci48]

Yes, the .Net Framework 2 is installed on my pc and it works fine with a lot of other programs. But if I open your "Controls" sample or add the dll to a new project I'll get the error.

I don't really need the password field and since Erel updated his FormLib...

But I'm still wondering.

No idea why this doesn't work as long as you have set "Textbox1.TextAlign = TextBox1.TextAlign = HorizontalAlignment.Center". This is documented as being supported in CF 1.0 and 2.0.

passworchar shows what ever char is set on desktop, but in ppc is always "*"

This is supported under CF 1.0 and 2.0 according the the VS2005 documentation. However if you are running under CF 2.0 the following applies :-
"UseSystemPasswordChar property (This property is new in the .NET Framework version 2.0) has precedence over the PasswordChar property. Whenever the UseSystemPasswordChar is set to true, the default system password character is used and any character set by PasswordChar is ignored."

Thanks Agraham..

I did target cf 2.0 so perhaps thats the reason for the passwordchar not showing, no big deal...
The text alignment is set like this (and works on the desktop)
tb.textalign = HorizontalAligment.Center
being tb the textbox control's name...

In the desktop it works fine, but on the ppc is stays aligned to the left..maybe as result of the previous property?

Only multiline textboxes support changing text alignment (on the device).

mistery solved....

Found this (at last) in the VS2005 docs. Explains both of Cableguys' queries.

Textbox in the Compact Framework
-----------------------------------

Single-line TextBox controls, specified by the Multiline property, support only left alignment. Multiline text box controls can be aligned left, right, or center.

If Multiline is false, the .NET Compact Framework sizes the control to the Height specification, but only the first line in the TextBox is usable. The full .NET Framework keeps the height to one line.

The PasswordChar property is always an asterisk (*), regardless of what is specified.

A few days ago I did some hard disk cleaning, installed Basis4ppc to another directory ... and forgot to copy Dbasic.exe.config ...

So sorry for my unnecessary posts.
