Looks like the better way to do it to me.

For now I just have:


class CObscureEdit : public CXTPControlEdit
{
public:
    DECLARE_XTP_CONTROL(CObscureEdit)

public:
    virtual CXTPControlEditCtrl* CreateEditControl(){
        pEditCtrl = new CObscureEditCtrl;
        return pEditCtrl;
    }

protected:
    CXTPControlEditCtrl* pEditCtrl;
};


class CObscureEditCtrl : public CXTPControlEditCtrl
{
// Overrides
public:
    // ClassWizard generated virtual function overrides
    //{{AFX_VIRTUAL(CObscureEditCtrl)
protected:
    virtual BOOL PreCreateWindow(CREATESTRUCT& cs){
        cs.style |= ES_PASSWORD;    // Make it password protected
        return CXTPControlEditCtrl::PreCreateWindow(cs);
    }
    //}}AFX_VIRTUAL
};

NOTE: The code was truncated and inlined.

It seems to work fine, but I am not sure if it is the best way to do it.

Only one way to override CXTPControlEdit

class CXTPControlPasswordEdit : public CXTPControlEdit
{

DECLATE_XTP_CONROL(CXTPControlPasswordEdit )

void SetRect(CRect rcControl)
{

CXTPControlEdit::SetRect(rcControl);
m_pEdit->SetPasswordChar('*');

}
}

IMPLEMENT_XTP_CONTROL(CXTPControlPasswordEdit , CXTPControlEdit)

ps. didn't tested :)

Is there an easy way to make a CXTPControlEdit in a toolbar a password field (one with '*')?

I tried to create the control in OnCreateControl and callSetPasswordChar, but the CEdit is not created until 'SetRect' is called(which is too late).


m_pPassword = (CXTPControlEdit*)CXTPControlEdit::CreateObject();

m_pPassword->SetWidth(150);
m_pPassword->SetFlags(xtpFlagManualUpdate);
m_pPassword->SetCaption("password");
 m_pPassword->GetEditCtrl()->SetPasswordChar('*');&nb sp;   // <-- Does not work!

lpCreateControl->pControl = m_pPassword;

return TRUE;

I am trying to create a simple password control without having to create a custom class. Thanks!
