NumericPassword.WP

NumericPassword.WP is a TextBox-based component for Windows Phone providing missing and widely requested numeric password input.

Adding NumericPassword component to your Windows Phone project is easy, as it takes only 5 simple steps:

1. Add ExternalGoods.NumericPassword.WP package to your project via NuGet Package manager.
   In Visual Studio choose Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Manage NuGet Packages for Solution..., search for NumericPassword in upper right corner of the dialog and click Install.
   
2. Add namespace reference to your PhoneApplicationPage.
   You can choose any prefix that does not exist on your page yet (red part), but the value (blue part) must stay the same, saying VS what assembly and namespace to look for the component.
3. Add NumericPassword component to your XAML layout using namespace from the previous step.
4. Set a password character you wish to use via PasswordChar property. If not set the default character ("*") ("●") will be used.
5. You can set any other common property or event, just like you would do with classic TextBox.
   The only one protected property (which you can read, but can not set) is InputScope, which is hardcoded to Number.

In code you can access the value directly the same way like in the classic TextBox:

pinPopup_pin.Text = "0000";  //presets the value (user will see four dots instead)
string value = pinPopup_pin.Text;  //returns value entered by user (e.g. 1234)

That's it! You are now ready to build your own superb UI with NumericPassword!
