Sorry, but I don't understand what you want to do exactly. Is Notepad just an example? Are you targetting some other control in an application?
Also I don't understand what the Control Style, -0x20 is supposed to do, pure numbers are not very expressive... |

ES_PASSWORD is 0x20
Do you want to flag notepad's edit control with with +0x20 so that the entire text is asterisked ?   |

Thanks Skan, I missed it as there are numerous styles starting with 0x20, that's why I complained.
If you want to set this style, use +0x20, not -0x20
I tried:
| Code: | appTitle = AutoHotkey Help
Control Style, +0x20, Edit2, %appTitle%
ControlSetText Edit2, foo, %appTitle%
|
but it doesn't work (I see 'foo'), it might be a style needing to be set before creating the control. Maybe for security reasons, it might be annoying to be able to remove this style... |

That's what I wrote...
Another idea is to hide the control (Control Hide) or to mask it with a little GUI. |

Sure.
1) Run Autohotkey help and select the Index tab.
2) Run the following code
| Code: | EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR := 0xCC
ES_PASSWORD := 0x20
PASSWORDCHAR := "*"
appTitle = AutoHotkey Help
ControlGet, cHwnd, Hwnd,, Edit1, %appTitle%
Control, ExStyle, +0x20, ,ahk_id %cHwnd%
SendMessage, EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, Asc(PASSWORDCHAR), 0,, ahk_id %cHwnd% |
PS: This looks like a candidate for my TipsNTricks |

It doesn't work for me, neither your code (with Edit1, Search tab, or Edit2, Index tab) nor the simplified:
| Code: | appTitle = AutoHotkey Help
Control ExStyle, +0x20, Edit2, %appTitle%
SendMessage 0xCC, Asc("*"), 0, Edit2, %appTitle%
msgbox %errorlevel%
ControlSetText Edit2, foo, %appTitle%
Return
|
For some reason, on my system (WinXP Pro SP2), I get a FAIL on SendMessage. In your code, the cHwnd looks OK. |

| Not really, ie. it doesn't change the style but it resets the password char. |

The following works for me in Win XP SP2
| Code: | EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR := 0xCC
ES_PASSWORD := 0x20
PASSWORDCHAR := "*"
appTitle = AutoHotkey Help
ControlGet, cHwnd, Hwnd,, Edit2, %appTitle%
Control, ExStyle, +0x20, ,ahk_id %cHwnd%
SendMessage, EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, Asc(PASSWORDCHAR), 0,, ahk_id %cHwnd% |
The only change in code is Edit2 for Index which was Edit1 for me in Win 2000.
After running the code, minimize and maximize the CHM once.
I guess there must be drawing problems.

That's what I tried, and even with your hidding trick, it doesn't work (FAIL on SendMessage). Note that's what is done in the link you gave: the InvalidateRect refreshes the control.
Did you tried with a SP2 XP? It might be a new security thingy. |

The system properties read as:
Microsoft Windows XP
Professional
Version 2002
Service Pack 2
Can anybody else confirm whether this stuff works ( or does not work ) in XP ? |
