TMaskEdit with PASSWORDCHAR set to *

I am using a TMaskEdit with passwordchar set to * to hide the 5 digits entered by the user. The mask is set to 99999;0;

The problem is that the 5 * are displayed all the time, even when there is no characters in the maskedit. I would like the maskedit to be blank when no character have been entered.

Hello moonrise ;-)

Raymond's code can be simply written as follows

if (Length(Text) = 5 and not (key in ['0'..'9'])) then key := #0

;-)

Thank you both.
Of course after Viktor compiled it he would change it to:

if (Length(Text) = 5) and not (key in ['0'..'9']) then key := #0

:-)

Cheers,

Raymond.

Thought for the day: Complexity and complication are not the same.

Hello jelousy :)

I didn't compile anything... I just know Delphi well ;-)

I haven't opened Delphi for more than a month if you want to know...

btw- Did you compile it to see if it really works, eh?

Cheers,
Viktor
Of course I didn't compile it Viktor! That would be taking all the fun out of it!

Raymond.
Good for you... I just wanted you to know that I didn't compile it also :)
