There are naive questions, tedious questions, ill-phrased questions, questions put after inadequate self-criticism. But every question is a cry to understand the world. There is no such thing as a dumb question.
Since I've been offline for the past 5 days or so I decided to have a little fun and build a new version of the Security Keypad.
This version uses 8 labels for the Access Code (each label contains one character). I used labels so the fields couldn't get focus as I didn't want to see the cursor. I added an Eventhandler to handle the button clicks.
Since labels don't have a PasswordChar property I hade to code that myself. As each character is entered it is also added to an Array so I can easily flip between the code character and the password character.
When the correct code is entered a Timer Tick event waits 5 seconds before opening my menu form.
Below are some screenshots of the Keypad and some selected code.
