Hi Everyone! Good Day!

Is it possible to use a dialog box for prompting password? like for example i don't wanna build another form just for asking user to verify their user and password....

Thank you!

Hi,

I was thinking about that also and wanted to use TasDialog for this. It supports adding textboxes but you get to see the password when typing. In InputBoxChanged event I replaced the typed chars into * but when replacing the chars you get another InputBoxChanged event and the cursor is set to first position. So I got stuck.

Maybe and just maybe CJ will implement password chars in textbox

I don't see any other possibilities so I have to keep my original form for now and I guess you have to do the same

Good luck

No, however (perhaps) you may play with InputBoxChanged event...

Try, then let us know...

Try this:

1. Open the VistaTaskDialog sample project.

2. Open frmMain code window.

3. Add to General declarations:

Dim sPrevText As String

4. Open form designer, go to Samples tab, then add a button

cmdInputBoxSample

5. Add below code :

Private Sub cmdInputBoxSample_Click()
    taskDialog.Reset
    With taskDialog
        .AddInputBox
        .InputBoxText = "Enter your Password"
        .ShowDialog
        MsgBox "Typed text is: " & sPrevText, vbInformation
    End With
End Sub

6. Now, in form designer, double click into taskDialog control

7. Open the InputBoxChanged event

8. Insert the below code:

Private Sub taskDialog_InputBoxChanged()
    Static bChanged As Boolean ' to skip the 2nd event
    Dim sNewText As String

    If bChanged Then        'the text ha s been replaced by my code
        bChanged = False
        SendKeys "{END}"    ' move cursor to the end position
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' get text typed from the user
    sNewText = taskDialog.InputBoxText

    ' if text is the initial text, skip:
    If sNewText = "Enter your Password" Then Exit Sub

    ' replace each char with password-char (*)
    If sPrevText <> sNewText Then
        sPrevText = sPrevText + Replace(sNewText, "*", "")
        sNewText = String(Len(sNewText), "*")
        bChanged = True ' inform the routine to skip next event
        taskDialog.InputBoxText = sNewText
    End If

End Sub

Enjoy
