Yes, I said in the blog, you can do this by calling replaceSelection(“remembered password”). So it works, although could be made nicer.

I also believe that it should be possible to preset a password textfield with a value (“remember password”)

[...] there is no password field control available in JavaFX, so Martin Matula has stepped forward and made one [...]

Hi Richard. I am glad you like it! Yes, it does work with promptText. And thanks for the hints. Will look at it.

Hey Martin, very cool. Only thing I’d do differently is to have PasswordBox extend TextInputControl and use a TextBox in it’s skin implementation (delegation vs inheritance). One reason is that TextBox gains the ability to be multiline in the next realease which would be odd for a password box I guess.

One other thing, does this implementation work with promptText?

Aah, a nice, simple implementation, with a smart usage of function overriding. Well done!
Note, I have an alternative implementation of getStars, using the fact that a sequence of strings in an interpolated variable is made of concatenation of the strings.
super.replaceSelection(“{for (i in [ 1 .. arg.length() ]) ‘*’}”);
