.NET Forum / .NET Framework / General / October 2004paste to password
hi, i have a textbox that used for entering password (passwordChar=*) when im doing cut,copy,paste to the textbox.text its not working how to do the paste in this case? thanks > i have a textbox that used for entering password (passwordChar=*) > when im doing cut,copy,paste to the textbox.text its not working > how to do the paste in this case? I just tried this (added a new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox to a form and set its PasswordChar property to '*') and when I attempt to cut or copy from it (Ctrl-X and Ctrl-C, respectively), a tooltip is displayed that reads that I cannot copy text from a password field. The cut and copy context menu (right-click) items are disabled. This is what I'd expect. Pasting, on the other hand, works fine. Can you explain what happens when you try, and how this doesn't meet your expectations of what should happen? so you are saying that there is no way to do copy & cut to the password? by the way the paste is working now thank you for the help > so you are saying that there is no way to do copy & cut to the > password? It sounds like you're not wanting to do copy and cut *to* the password, but *from* the password. This shouldn't be allowed for security reasons.

Windows prevents it, and that seems logical to me -- imagine if an application which remembers your password enabled copying from the password text box. Someone else using your computer could then copy and paste your password into Notepad, for example, and they'd see your password in clear text. right... :) thanks > > so you are saying that there is no way to do copy & cut to the password? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > password into Notepad, for example, and they'd see your password in clear > text.
