<h5 id="GrapeCity_Win_Spread_InputMan_CellType_GcTextBoxCellType_PasswordChar_remarks">Remarks</h5>
<div class="markdown level1 remarks"><p>
      The <b>PasswordChar</b> can be used to create a password field in a dialog box. Although you
      can use any SBCS character, most Windows-based applications use the asterisk (*) (Chr(42)).
    </p>
<p>
      This property does not affect the <span class="xref">GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBox.Text</span> property.
      <span class="xref">GrapeCity.Win.Spread.InputMan.CellType.GcTextBox.Text</span> contains exactly what the user types or what
      was set from code. Setting the <b>PasswordChar</b> to 0, which is the default, will display
      the actual text in the control.
