Such tools already exist, such as Snadboy's Revelation, using the standard WM_GETTEXT message. Most edit controls that have a password mask applied do not mask the text when requested, only when displayed visually. > I would rather hope that a password entry field does so. I don't know about recent Windows versions, but that has not always been the case, unfortunately. Maybe it has already changed, I don't know. At one time, I started implementing my own Edit control that prevented such tools from working. But I never finished it. Gambit
