TMaskEdit problem lazarus / 31-LCL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- undermanager · 2012-06-07 21:42 Mmmmm. Can't seem to work out how to get this working so that the box is empty to start with, and then as you type, it gets filled with asterixes. I have put a TMaskEdit control on my form called medtPassword. I have set the EditMask property to ******** and have also put this in my code: medtPassword.PasswordChar := '*' but to no avail. Can anyone give me a pointer please? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Avishai · 2012-06-07 21:51 I think all you have to do is set PasswordChar to '*'.  I do not think you need to set anything else.  Leave EditMask blank. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- undermanager · 2012-06-07 23:21 Thanks. Sorted now.  I also needed to set PasswordChar in FormCreate.
