class CGXPasswordControl: public CGXEditControl

The CGXPasswordControl class implements a text input control for passwords. When the user modifies the text, a password character (e.g., an asterisk, '*') will be shown for each entered character.

You can determine the password text with GetValueRowCol() programmatically.

Style attributes which specify the appearance of the cell are:

Text with SetValue.
Text color with SetColor.
Background color with SetInterior.
Cell frame 3d-effect (raised, inset, normal) with SetDraw3dFrame.
Borders with SetBorder.
Horizontal alignment with SetHorizontalAlignment.
Vertical alignment with SetVerticalAlignment.
Font with SetFont.
Read only with SetReadOnly.
Maximal text length with SetMaxTextLength.
default id for CGXPasswordControl controls is GX_IDS_CTRL_PASSWORD.

If you want to change the password character you have to register the control in the OnInitialUpdate routine.

Example:

   CGXPasswordControl* pPwdControl = new CGXPasswordControl(this,
      GX_IDS_CTRL_PASSWORD);
   pPwdControl->m_chPasswordChar = _T('@'); // use @ as password char
   RegisterControl(GX_IDS_CTRL_PASSWORD, pPwdControl);

and later apply it to cells with

   SetStyleRange(CGXRange(4,3,10,5),
      CGXStyle()
         .SetControl(GX_IDS_CTRL_PASSWORD)
      );
