text encryption

[darkwraith]

Hi,I have to encrypt a text in a textbox while typing it in (like a password).
Does anyone know if there is a way to do it authomatically?
I implemented a simple function to be called in the TextBox_KeyUp event (to substitute letters as they are typed with '*'), but it results very slow.
Thanks for any help

Hi Darkwraith,

Just set 'paswordChar' in properties to '*' or what it is you want it to be.

Thanks AgatheB for the hint.
I've turned the data inputMask property to password '*' and now everything works.
