Use OnKeyPress method, but make sure you handle with backspace and delete. |

That would record the last key pressed, not the caption... How does that work? Enter and Backspace are handled differently? I do not have the MSDN, so I don't know how to work with OnKeyPress. Can you hint me out? FirZen |

OnKeyPress gives you the ascii character of the letter, just add that to the variable and change the caption to len(variable) times * |

I see. Can Len() be used as a var or do I need to store it as a var first? No problems with Backspace or do I need extra attention on that one? As you can see, never coded in VB. FirZen |

Len() is a function, like in any other language, it return the value, so yes, it can be used as a variable, no need to store. And for the back space, you'll need to make an If statement and remove the last letter. Use Mid and Len functions together, if you don't know this function, google it ^^ |

Go into the form view. Click once on the text box. Scroll down the Properties box and find "Password Char" Enter "*" as the value Game Over man. |

You shouldn't need a rich text box for this, or find a rich text box control on PSC that supports it. |

He wants a transparent textbox so the GUI shows through. I don't know what wrong with just printing the text or using a label and replacing the string with the same amount of *'s. |

-sigh- You're going to store the password somewhere else, and then fill the textbox with *'s. |

William wrote: Why do you want to use a RTB? To make it transparent? If so, thats the only reason. And you will have to program the password chars, store what you type in a variable and show the * from the Len() of the text etc.. Actually, William had that idea when you were still fumbling around with controls. |

its not the first time I code. Just the first time I do it in VB. Already did some stuff with Pascal, GML (that's not even a coding language, is it?), C-Script... C++ I think. But that was waaaaay too back. So, I had that idea in my mind, just din't know how to put it into code. I was hoping someone came up with the same idea, but with better coding skills. Eh, screw this. Nobody can play my game surrounded by people. Period. |

Um, if you use the RTB control, in the properties, isn't there a "Password Character" part where you set what key will show instead of what you type? O_o |

Visual Basic Service Pack 6 Maybe the RTB has a password field in SP6. |

Oh. I don't have VB installed, or I'd have just checked myself. Doesn't Rez have this in his Zombie game? |
