Cool tip, and I have two questions:

(1) Where did the number 204 come from?
(2) What does "Siggi war da!" mean?

´
1) it is the constand for
#EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR = &HCC = 204 decimal
or
#EM_GETPASSWORDCHAR = &HD2 = 210 decimal

2) "Siggi war da!"=I'm there (nonsense of course !)

Ah, cool. Thanks for that! And due to teaching me that, here are two more
handy things I was able to learn about StringGadgets:

Code: Select all

SendMessage_(hWnd,#EM_SETREADONLY,1,0) ; Locked (don't let user edit it).
SendMessage_(hWnd,#EM_LIMITTEXT,10,0) ; Don't allow more than 10 chars in it.

Nice! That was I'm looking for! WinAPI Rulez.

Huh?? Franco, I'm using SendMessage_(hWnd,#EM_SETREADONLY,1,0) on PB 3.1 under Windows XP and it work fine. Haven't tested the others yet as I didn't need them

Hi Fangles, I played with #EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR and it's not working anymore.

I did say I hadn't tested the others but I was told it has something to do with these new flags Freds going to put in that causes that way not to work currently. We shall see when the new 3.20 is out how it works

does anyone know how to do this in Linux and Mac?
looks like gtk_entry_set_visibility() is the way to go for Linux
