    Is there any way to monitor the caret index of a passwordbox like you can in a textbox

  • otiko

    the passwordbox doesnt support it....

    You are really looking for a masked textbox which isnt supported in the current version. .. an alternative is to use the Winforms MaskedTextBox.

    Thanks guy,

    It works fine... excellent!

    The TextBox doesn't have a password mode. Instead, there's a special control for this: PasswordBox.

    I think the main reason for this is that TextBox supports a bunch of features that you almost certainly don't want in a password box, like multiline text, typography, text decorations.

    Use PasswordBox control and set PasswordChar as '*'
