Delphi InputBox for password entry?

Question

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.

Answer 1

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');
