C#

void CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender,EventArgs e)
{
 if(CheckBox1.checked=true)
     txtPassword.PasswordChar='0';//The password in the textbox is dispalyed as same characters typed by the user.
 else
     txtPassword.PasswordChar='#';//The password in the textbox is diplayed as a group of '#' characters.
}

PasswordChar isthe cha racter used to mask characters entered in a single-line TextBox control. Set the value of this property to 0 (character value) if you do not want the control to mask characters as they are typed.

TextBox.UseSystemPasswordChar for setting to system password
and which property is used for setting it for plan text?
textbox1.??????

Paw Jershauge 20-Nov-12 3:37am

UseSystemPasswordChar is a bool property. True = **** / False = ABCD

Please try it before replying

yess sir i know that it is bool
i know that sir but according to your answer. i should keep the checkbox checked for using systempassword???
but i want default as system password and if the checkbox is changed means checked then it will be shifted to plain text.
how can i do that?

Paw Jershauge 20-Nov-12 3:49am

TextBox.UseSystemPasswordChar = true;
CheckBox.Checked = False;
CheckBox.CheckedChanged += new EventHandler(CheckBox_CheckedChanged);
void CheckBox_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox.UseSystemPasswordChar = !CheckBox.Checked;
}

Solution 1

Use TextMode property[^] of textbox.

C#

YourTextBoxID.TextMode = TextBoxMode.SingleLine; //For normal Plain text

YourTextBoxID.TextMode = TextBoxMode.Password;

Use the Checkbox's Checked Property[^] to see if the checkBox is checked or not.
