Delphi InputBox for password entry?

问题

Inputbox:

answer:=Inputbox('a','b','c');

works good, but I'm looking for a masked one, like a password box where you only see little stars instead of the typed characters.

You can send a Windows message to the edit control created by InputBox, that will flag the edit control for password entry. Code below taken from http://www.swissdelphicenter.ch/en/showcode.php?id=1208:

const
   InputBoxMessage = WM_USER + 200;

type
   TForm1 = class(TForm)
     Button1: TButton;
     procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
   private
     procedure InputBoxSetPasswordChar(var Msg: TMessage); message InputBoxMessage;
   public
   end;

var
   Form1: TForm1;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.InputBoxSetPasswordChar(var Msg: TMessage);
var
   hInputForm, hEdit, hButton: HWND;
begin
   hInputForm := Screen.Forms[0].Handle;
   if (hInputForm <> 0) then
   begin
     hEdit := FindWindowEx(hInputForm, 0, 'TEdit', nil);
     {
       // Change button text:
       hButton := FindWindowEx(hInputForm, 0, 'TButton', nil);
       SendMessage(hButton, WM_SETTEXT, 0, Integer(PChar('Cancel')));
     }
     SendMessage(hEdit, EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, Ord('*'), 0);
   end;
end;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
   InputString: string;
begin
   PostMessage(Handle, InputBoxMessage, 0, 0);
   InputString := InputBox('Input Box', 'Please Enter a Password', '');
end;

In XE2, InputBox() and InputQuery() were updated to natively support masking the TEdit input, although that feature has not been documented yet. If the first character of the APrompt parameter is set to any value < #32 then the TEdit.PasswordChar will be set to *, eg:

answer := InputBox('a', #31'b', 'c');

回答3:

InputBox calls the InputQuery function in Dialogs, which creates the form dynamically. You could always make a copy of this function and change the TEdit's PasswordChar property.

回答4:

I don't think that Delphi includes such a thing out of the box. Maybe you can find one at http://www.torry.net/ or elsewhere in the net. Otherwise just write one yourself - shouldn't be that hard. :-) You can even look at the source code if you have a "big enough" Delphi version.

You can use InputQuery instead of InputBox. When the TRUE argument is set, password field will be masked.

InputQuery('Authenticate', 'Password:',TRUE, value);
