Eventually solved this problem myself.....!! as no replies received

Not simple as Codejock buried the instantiation of CXTPReportInplaceEdit within CXTPReportRecordItem, and lots of functions in both call GetCaption for the string to display. Whilst it is possible to obscure the string - you actually need to blank the obscured string before allowing an edit - otherwise addition of characters in middle of string can cause havoc.
 
Brief Outline...
There derive subclasses from CXTPReportRecordItem ( overriding the classes that refer to the edit control ) . Derive a subclass from CXTPReportInplaceEdit and override the create function to call GetStartEditCaption - which returns a blank CString for a password, and the normal GetCaption() a non password. You'll need to adjust the class friends to get rid of linkage errors as well..
 
Don't use CXTPReportRecordItemText.
 
Cheers

I am trying to cause a password to be obscured using asterisks using CXTPReportRecordItemEditOptions and setting

m_pEditOptions->m_dwEditStyle |= ES_PASSWORD;

Has anyone any advice on how I can get the toolkit to take notice of this ?
 
Thanks
