iOS Question PasswordMode is invalid in TextView

[shirlun]

Hi,

I found PasswordMode is invalid in TextView, is there any alternative method to set it ?

Thanks.

I don't think so. Why don't you use TextField?

 

[shirlun]

The TextField can't raise the TextChanged event when the text is empty, so I must use TextView.

How to detect the Backspace in TextField ?

The TextField can't raise the TextChanged event when the text is empty, so I must use TextView.

Works fine here.

Sub TextField1_TextChanged (OldText As String, NewText As String)
   Log("changed: " & NewText)
End Sub

When TextField.Text become empty, no more TextChanged event raising.

That's right, only one message between k, j.

changed: k
changed:
changed: j

while k is deleted, the event raised, and press Backspace again, will no more "changed:" message loged.

 

[Erel]

That's true. The TextChanged is only raised when the text changes. TextView should behave exactly the same.

 

[shirlun]

TextView raises TextChanged even TextView.Text empty, so I can use this signal to send Backspace to the server.

But the PasswordMode in TextView is invalid, this is a problem.
