Zitat von
PSDK:
Windows XP: If an edit control is from user32.dll, an asterisk is the default character for the ES_PASSWORD style. However, if an edit control is from comctl32.dll version 6, a black circle is the default character for the ES_PASSWORD style. Note that comctl32.dll version 6 is not redistributable but is included with Microsoft® Windows® XP or later. To use comctl32.dll version 6, specify it in a manifest. For more information on manifests, see Using Windows XP Visual Styles.
Stellt sich also die Frage: Woher kommt das Edit-Control?
