// Determine, if a Edit Field has password characters
// Herausfinden, ob das Edit Feld Passwort Charakter hat
function HasPasswordChar(AHandle: HWND): Boolean;
var
  
dwStyle: DWORD;
begin
  
dwStyle := GetWindowLong(AHandle, GWL_STYLE);
  Result := (dwStyle and ES_PASSWORD) = ES_PASSWORD;
end;

// Set password characters for the Edit Field
// Passwort Charakter für ein Edit Feld setzen
procedure SetPasswordChar(AHandle: HWND; Value: Char);
var
  
S: String;
  len: Integer;
begin
  
len := Sendmessage(AHandle, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, 0, 0);
  SetLength(S, len);
  SendMessage(AHandle, WM_GETTEXT, len+1, lparam(@S[1]));
  SendMessage(AHandle, EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, Ord(Value), 0);
  SendMessage(AHandle, WM_SETTEXT, 0, Integer(PChar(S)));
end;

// Cancel the password characters and reveal the text
// Password Charakter aufheben und den Text anzeigen
procedure CancelPasswordChar(AHandle: HWND);
var
  
S: string;
  len: Integer;
begin
  
len := SendMessage(AHandle, WM_GETTEXTLENGTH, 0, 0);
  SetLength(S, len);
  SendMessage(AHandle, WM_GETTEXT, len + 1, lParam(@S[1]));
  SendMessage(AHandle, EM_SETPASSWORDCHAR, 0, 0);
  SendMessage(AHandle, WM_SETTEXT, 0, Integer(PChar(S)));

wnd := FindWindowEx(GetForeGroundWindow, 0, 'TEdit', nil);
  if wnd <> 0 then
    
SetPasswordChar(wnd,'*');
end;
