TcxCustomTextEditProperties.EchoMode Property
Specifies the text display mode.
Declaration
property EchoMode: TcxEditEchoMode read; write; default eemNormal;
Property Value
Type | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
TcxEditEchoMode | eemNormal | The active text display mode. |
Remarks
The EchoMode
property value only affects the appearance of displayed text and has no effect on the editor value. Refer to the TcxEditEchoMode type description for detailed information on available options.
Note
The EchoMode
property affects both user input text and text inserted programmatically.
Code Example
The code example below demonstrates OnButtonClick and OnCreate event handlers.
The application form’s OnCreate event handler creates two additional embedded buttons in a TcxButtonEdit control and configures the appearance and behavior of all embedded buttons. The OnButtonClick event handler associates all created buttons with the editor’s functionality.
Note
This example uses a TcxImageList component with three SVG icons as a source of glyphs for the created buttons.
procedure TMyForm.cxButtonEdit1PropertiesButtonClick(Sender: TObject;
AButtonIndex: Integer);
var
AEditor: TcxButtonEdit;
begin
AEditor := Sender as TcxButtonEdit;
if AButtonIndex = 0 then // The first button clears the editor
AEditor.Clear
else if AButtonIndex = 1 then // The second button selects content
AEditor.SelectAll
else if AButtonIndex = 2 then // The third button hides or reveals content
begin
if AEditor.Properties.EchoMode = eemNormal then
AEditor.Properties.EchoMode := eemPassword
else
AEditor.Properties.EchoMode := eemNormal;
end;
end;
procedure TMyForm.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
var
AProperties: TcxButtonEditProperties;
I: Integer;
begin
cxButtonEdit1.ShowHint := True; // Enables hints for the editor
AProperties := cxButtonEdit1.Properties;
AProperties.BeginUpdate; // Initiates the following batch change
try
AProperties.Images := cxImageList1; // Assigns the source of button glyphs
// Create two additional buttons
AProperties.Buttons.Add;
AProperties.Buttons.Add;
// Specify common button settings
for I := 0 to AProperties.Buttons.Count - 1 do
begin
AProperties.Buttons.Items[I].Kind := bkGlyph; // Changes the button content type to "glyph"
AProperties.Buttons.Items[I].ImageIndex := I; // Specifies image indexes in the source list
AProperties.Buttons.Items[I].HotTrackMode := TcxEditButtonHotTrackMode.Editor;
end;
// Specify unique button settings
AProperties.Buttons.Items[0].Hint := 'Clear';
AProperties.Buttons.Items[1].Hint := 'Select All';
AProperties.Buttons.Items[2].Hint := 'Hide/Reveal';
AProperties.Buttons.Items[2].LeftAlignment := True;
AProperties.Buttons.Items[2].Transparent := True;
finally
AProperties.EndUpdate; // Calls EndUpdate regardless of the batch operation's success
end;
end;
