Userform lost focus after each character (passchar = wingdings)

[Llupo01]

Hello,

I have quick question. This is not so important, but I am buidling userform for password input and wanted to use Wingdings as password character, for example ,,N" .
But when I change font to wingdings, set passchar to "N", after each character txtbox loose focus and must be activated by clicking again.

Is there anything I can avoid this behavior? I tried to use txtbox_change = me.txtbox1.setfocus, txbox before update (same part of code), none of it is working.

Can someone pls help?
Thank you.

brgds,
Tom

Unusual.

Not sure about your reasoning to change the font but if it is just to hide the password, you can set this in the design time settings of a text box in the 'PasswordChar' setting. usually an asterix but you can set it to whatever you like

I know, it can be anything. I just wanted to show some funny symbols instead of asterix , thats why its not important. I just found it as strange behavior, so wanted to ask, if anyone knows the reason for that.

can you post all your code. There must be some code in the textbox change vent that is causing it. I just set it up how you said and it works fine.

I already dont have that code...I tried to simulate again on new UserForm.

I have no code, just absolutely new textbox, font wingdings, password character N (capital N). And its always stops after every singel character.

Then I'm at a loss. If no event id being triggered on the keypress I fail to see what is causing focus to lose. I've tried it again here. Works fine.
