Hi Sebastian,
There is a known issue with password textboxes and the InputPanel. The SIP
was fixed in later versions of PPC (including PPC2003). Basically setting
focus to the textbox causes the EnabledChanged event to fire, which can
lead to problems depending on what you are doing inside the event handler.
This was especially troublesome with the transcriber SIP, where the event
would fire a large number of times.
If you are not using the InputPanel class, then you should try SP2 once it
is released. When a password textbox receives focus, we disable word
completion of the SIP. Previously we were not checking the current state
of the SIP to see if it needed to be disabled (fixed in SP2)...purhaps the
setting the SIP to have word completion disabled is causing the textbox to
receive another focus message.

| Thanks for yout replies.
|
| I'm using PPC 2002 and the SIP is set to keyboard, but i
| tried also different input methods. I didn't encountered
| this problem when I use the emulator, neither using the
| keyboard, nor the SIP, and this is why I think it is a bug
| related with the HP IPAQ 5400 series. Unfortunately, I do
| not have the chance to try on other handhelds.
|
| For the other reply, I didn't nothing special, I just
| created a new project, put a normal textbox in it and set
| the passwordchar to "*". If i try to run this application,
| deploying it on the device, it freezes. If I put another
| text box, without a passwordchar set, in the form, the
| application runs normaly, but as soon as the 1st textbox
| (the one with the passwordchar set) get focus, the
| application freezes. It is like some processing is
| running, because after a minute or two, everything i did
| (typing, clicking, etc.) is displayed on screen.
