vuPasswordToggle(ControlHandle)

vuPasswordToggle(LONG InHwnd),SIGNED,PROC,PASCAL,RAW,NAME('vuPasswordToggle')

Description

Programmatically toggles a managed password control between visible-text mode and normal masked mode.

The eye button created during vuPasswordInit() handles this automatically for the user, but this function allows the developer to force a state change through code when needed.

Parameters

Parameter	Data Type	Description
InHwnd	LONG	Handle of the target password control previously initialized with `vuPasswordInit()`.

Returns

1 = Text is now visible
0 = Mask mode is now active
-5 = Control not initialized

Example

RC LONG

RC = vuPasswordToggle(?InPassword{PROP:Handle})

Notes

vuPasswordToggle() only works on controls that have already been initialized with vuPasswordInit().
The returned value tells you the new state after the toggle completes.
In normal UI use, most developers will let the generated eye button handle toggling automatically.
