使用文本框作为密码框。 WPF C#

Question

I have a login form with two textboxes, one for username and one for password.

I have used a textbox for the password input, however I would like to mask the characters so that rather than showing letters, it will show a (*) symbol or a password dot.

I can not change the textbox to a password box as this throws errors.

Using C#, WPF form

Answer 1

I would suggest using the PasswordBox and rewriting your code to work with that instead of coming up with a work around. I am not exactly sure what error you are getting, but you can get the value of the PasswordBox almost the same way as getting the value/text from a TextBox.

TextBox:

TextBox1.Text

PasswordBox:

PasswordBox1.Password
PasswordBox1.SecurePassword

Answer 2

Try this,

Inside xaml file:-

 <TextBlock Height="20" HorizontalAlignment="Right" x:Name ="Pwderrormessage" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="156" Margin="0,347,60,0" OpacityMask="Crimson" Foreground="#FFE5572C" /> <Label HorizontalContentAlignment="Left" Content="Password:" Foreground="White" TextBlock.FontSize="14" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Margin="230,340,0,0" Height="30" Width="84"/> <StackPanel Height="23" Width="200" Margin="126,170,0,0"> <PasswordBox x:Name="txtpwd" PasswordChar="*" Height="23" Width="200"/> </StackPanel>

And code behind page.

On button click,

   if (txtpwd.Password.Length == 0)
            {
                Pwderrormessage.Text = "Enter a Password.";
                txtpwd.Focus();
            }

            else
            {
                /*Save you data*/
            }
