How can password textbox that set to :
password_txtBox.PasswordChar ="*"
to be unmasked ( from checkbox ) and then mask again
without loosing the string inside the textbox
Just set the property to '\0' (which is the default value) to not mask characters.
Source: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.textbox.passwordchar.aspx
Note: notice that '\0' is different from '0'. The first one is the null character, white '0' is the character that will be displayed as 0.
For winforms:
private void checkBoxShowPassword_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) {
textBoxPassword.PasswordChar = checkBoxShowPassword.Checked ? '\0' : '*';
}
If you are working with toggle switch then
private void toggleSwitch1_Toggled(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (toggleSwitch1.IsOn)
{
string a= textBox2.Text;
textBox2.PasswordChar = '\0';
}
else
{
textBox2.PasswordChar = '*';
}
}
here '\0'
will show to password filed to plain text
txtPassword is the Password textbox, chkSeePassword is the Show password checkbox. Now add some code to the checkbox's CheckedChanged event
private void chkSeePassword_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtPassword.UseSystemPasswordChar = !chkSeePassword.Checked;
}
One of the easiest method to show and hide password is by using radio button inside password text box
The properties of radio button should be like:
this.radioBtn_ShowHidePassword.AutoCheck = false;
then the clicking activity has to be taken care manually just making it to be reverse of present state in its "Click" event
private void radioBtn_ShowHidePassword_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
radioBtn_ShowHidePassword.Checked = (! radioBtn_ShowHidePassword.Checked);
}
then finally the easiest way of show and hide password
private void radioBtn_ShowHidePassword_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
txtBoxPassword.PasswordChar = radioBtn_ShowHidePassword.Checked ? '\0' : '*';
// here we can even include the code for changing the default picture of button to two different
//representation like closed eye and opened eye which resembles Windows login
}
use this one
private void checkBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
textBox2.PasswordChar = default(char);
}
The VB.Net version is
Private Sub checkBoxShowPassword_CheckedChanged(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles checkBoxShowPassword.CheckedChanged
textBoxPassword.PasswordChar = If(checkBoxShowPassword.Checked, ControlChars.NullChar, "*"C)
End Sub
or
Private Sub CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CheckBox1.CheckedChanged
If CheckBox1.Checked Then
Me.txt_password.PasswordChar = "*"c
Else
Me.txt_password.PasswordChar = ControlChars.NullChar
End If
End Sub
