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 call SetPasswordChar, 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!

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 :)

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.

Looks like the better way to do it to me.
