Hello, I have the following box<br />
<br />
<a href="https://gyazo.com/3e7a6af9c677c4d1548ba0dc3909057b" rel="ugc">https://gyazo.com/3e7a6af9c677c4d1548ba0dc3909057b</a><br />
<br />
I am asking how can I remove the '|' prompting character from the input box and make it like a standard input box without the appended ES_PASSWORD flag.<br />
<br />
Basically it's inconvenient that the prompting character is bigger than the box itself so I'd like to remove it. How is it possible? Here is my CreateWindow call:<br />
<br />
DrawChildWindow(Pos, hWnd, &quot;EDIT&quot;, NULL, WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_OVERLAPPED | ES_PASSWORD, WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, (HMENU)LOGIN_PASSWORD);
