Change Passwordchar for Textbox in grid

[TGrahmann]

Hello, I am currently experiencing some issues dealing with the textbox in the column of a grid. When I want to change the passwordchar="*" it only masks the text when the cell is active. Is there any way to fix this?

Try sparse = .F.

That worked! I'm also having an issue with creating a special passwordchar+inputmask hybrid. Basically I need part of a textbox to be masked for a social security # so I want the textbox output to look like this ***-**-1234. Any Ideas?

There is no partial secrect textbox, so make it three textboxes and "-" as labels vetween them, make the first two textboxes password textboxes.

Bye, Olaf.

Ok, thanks. One more small thing. If I wanted to give a user the remaining amount of days his software license had, how would I calculate that. Say the expiration date was 02/29/15 and I want to use the current date to calculate when it will expire. What would be the calculation formula?

It's not a good idea to ask a new question in an old thread. In future, please start a new thread for a new question.

IAC, you can simply subtract dates in VFP:

If dExpire is your expiration date field, then

dExpire-DATE()

gives you days between that date and today.
