masked value for swt text field based on indicator [message #759834]

trying to make characters typed into a text into masked ones based on a checkbox indicator.

tried the below code, but it is not working:

valueText.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() {
@Override
public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
if(maskIndicator.getSelection()){
valueText.setEchoChar('*');
}
}
});

why is echoChar not working??
can someone guide me, what i am doing wrong here.

Hi,

setEchoChar() doesn't work for Text with SWT.MULTI style. Are you using SWT.MULTI or SWT.SINGLE style?

Also, since you are using the echo character based on the checkbox indicator, it is better to set and unset the echo character using setEchoChar() in the checkbox's selection listener.

From javadoc of setEchoChar "...setting the echo character to '\0' clears the echo character and redraws the original text"
