MaskedTextBox::UseSystemPasswordChar Property
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the operating system-supplied password character should be used.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the system password should be used as the prompt character; otherwise, false. The default is false.
| Exception | Condition |
|---|---|
| InvalidOperationException | The password character specified is the same as the current prompt character, PromptChar. The two are required to be different. |
The UseSystemPasswordChar property determines whether user-supplied input should be displayed in the MaskedTextBox as multiple occurrences of a password character defined by the operating system. UseSystemPasswordChar functions similarly to the PasswordChar property, but instead of using a programmer-supplied character for the prompt, UseSystemPasswordChar uses a prompt defined by the operating system. This property has precedence over PasswordChar.

As a security consideration, the MaskedTextBox control disables cut and copy operations on password-protected strings. |
