Question about TPasswordEditButton inside TEdit field

[pquessev 0]

I have set a TEdit field with Password=true, and I have added a TPasswordEditButton as an element to the TEdit field.

 

The TPasswordEditButton works as expected: when I click on the right side of the TEdit field the password is displayed in clear text. However, the TPasswordEditButton is not visible on the screen. Normally I should see a symbol on the right of the field. I have tried to set a text in the TPasswordEditButton, but it is not visible either.

 

I can achieve the desired result by using a TEditButton element instead of TPasswordEditButton, and handling the MouseDown and MouseUp events, but is there something special to do to get the TPasswordEditButton displayed inside the TEdit field?

 

I use Delphi 12 Update 1, and my test platform is Galaxy S24 running Android 14.

How does this construct work on Windows? As expected?

Yes, it works fine on Windows.

 

I hadn't paid attention but in the form editor the eye button is not displayed when  style is Android, and when changing style to windows it is displayed correctly.
