ASPxTextBoxBase.Password Property

Gets or sets a value that specifies whether the input is treated as a password and all characters entered into the editor are masked.

Namespace: DevExpress.Web

Assembly: DevExpress.Web.v24.1.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Web

Declaration

C#
VB.NET

[DefaultValue(false)]
public virtual bool Password { get; set; }

<DefaultValue(False)>
Public Overridable Property Password As Boolean

Property Value

Type	Default	Description
Boolean	false	`true` if the editor’s characters are masked; otherwise, `false`.

Remarks

This property is a wrapper of the TextBoxPropertiesBase.Password property. Refer to its description for more information.

Example

According to the security settings which are implemented in our editors, the password can't be set on the server side. So, if you edit a filed that has the Password = true setting, you will see an empty editor, which might cause a number of problems for end-users.

This example illustrates one of possible manners to edit a password field.
