This is default behavior in the windows login screen and other windows screens not the textbox control.<br />
This behaviour isnt coded into the textbox control in visual studio. You would need to implement this functionality yourself. <br />

I believe that if the &quot;Password&quot; property of a text box is set to true, not only is the input echoed as asterisks, but a warning bubble is shown when the CAPS LOCK key is on. <br />
Somehow, I have managed to disable the warning bubble (tooltip) and I would like to restore it.<br />

Another possibility (if you are using the correct manifest) may be that you have inadvertently swallowed up the EM_SHOWBALLOONTIP message for the edit control.

Thanks Melange, your manifest change is the solution. (The code was in stdafx.h but inoperative because of a define not made).<br />
In this app, there was no chance of any messages being swallowed<br />

The default when entering into a password field in XP is to receive a bubble warning if the &quot;caps lock&quot; key is active. Somehow, this has been disabled. The field still echoes asterisks.<br />
How can the default behaviour be restored?
