PasswordTextBox

Cableguy · #1 (**permalink**) 08-09-2007, 06:11 PM

Here's my 2nd dll

A PasswordTextBox....

This Textbox enables the coder to hide the input string using a character like "X" or "*", so that no-one can peek at the string...
and in this case I also implemented a simple encryption of the string passed back to the main basic4ppc code...Of course there's also an un-crypted string that can be passed....
This was only tested in the desktop...
This is also a work in progress, and probably will evolve to a Password Panel Input...

Please place your doubts, wishes or any kind of comments....

Hi Cableguy,

I'll get an error adding your password.dll library on the dektop saying:

An error occured. The format of th file "password.dll" is invalid.

(translated from the german message

)

By the way, any help file available? A small textfile will do.

Sorry,

yesterday's Post was set kind in an hurry...

Here is the dll, a sample app and a txt...enjoy

PS:
the password property is not supported by the compactframework but is suported by the "normal" framework,wich you should have installed in order to this dll to work...

If it isn't supported by .Net CF then it will only run on the desktop.

If I extract your .zip file and open the sample I still get the error saying that the .dll has an ivnalid format...

Specci48, do you have the dotnet framework ( not the compactframework ) installed in your PC...?

This dll, at least for now, is only supported in the desktop....

Has anyone else had similar problems with this dll?

I just don't understand Why this dll doesnt work on the ppc....

The msdn states the passwordchar to be supported by bot cf 1.0 and 2.0 but I cant even load it to the program....

The FormLib library now supports SetPasswordTextbox which does this.
It can be downloaded here: www.basic4ppc.com/Downloads.html

Looking at the references for the DLL with Reflector I think the reason may be that you have compiled it as a full .NET Framework 2.0 library and not as a retargetable device library.

Agraham You were Right!!!!

I didnt realize it, becausse my first dll was built on top of dzt example project, wich was, of course, already set to work with the compact framework....

Thanks...

Working now, but some features dont work the same way in ppc as in desktop

text alignment is set to center: works on desktop but not on ppc
passworchar shows what ever char is set on desktop, but in ppc is always "*"

Any clues???
