Hi guys, I have one textbox to type a password on it, but is there a way to make the text that I type appeared as an asterisk rather than the actual password ?
Thanks guys really appreciate, cause i've searching around FAQ and forum but couldn't found anything
;D
It can be done with some scripting. However, a simple and sorta cheating way is to make a font set that the characters are all asterisks and make the textbox to use this font set.
It got me thinking, and I may have a workaround if there's nothing already implemented to do this.
You could create a Gui with one label.
All you'd have to do now is to create a global string UserInput and copy this in the on_key_press section of the global script.
Just replace YourLabel with the ScriptName property of the label.
if(gGui3.Visible == true)
{
int size = UserInput.Length;
String str2 = YourLabel.Text;
if( keycode == eKeyBackspace && UserInput.Length > 0 )
{
UserInput = UserInput.Truncate( size -1 );
str2 = str2.Truncate( size -1 );
}
else if( keycode >= eKey0 && keycode <= eKeyZ)
{
UserInput = UserInput.AppendChar( keycode );
str2 = str2.AppendChar( '*' );
}
else if( keycode == eKeyReturn )
{
if( UserInput != "BIGBLUECUP" )
{
//display a "WRONG PASSWORD" message
}
else
{
//password matched so do whatever you need.
}
}
YourLabel.Text = str2;
}
All the letters that are typed will be uppercase, but it could be changed with a few more lines of code.
I also wanted to do this to check what the user's typing letter by letter, but you don't have to use textboxes, a simple label could do.
Edit: Ahh the font trick beats me :)

String str2 = gGui3.Controls[1].AsLabel.Text;
Just to clarify this, a much easier way is to set a script name for your label, then you can just do:
String str2 = lblLabelName.Text;
instead of messing around with the gui.Controls[] array.
Actually, The easiest way to do this is using a Font with just one char for the hole alphabete (e.c. '*'). Try to find/make such a Font, and it would be done.
Thanks Pumaman, I knew there was a more simple way but couldn't find it, I hadn't seen it in the label properties treeview.

Sorry, I just started using AGS, at least I've learned something useful ;)
Thanks guys, i will definitely try this, really appreciate ;D ;D ;D
guys, thanks u so much, I decided to create a new font with asterisk's only symbol on it, and It worked like a charm, thank u, this idea just didn't pop out of my brain, ehehhe ;D
