You can change the textmode property of the textbox to single line again! TextBox1.TextMode="SingleLine"

;) Its just a trick... 1) Have a 2 textboxes which stores the password, one is masked and other unmasked at the same location having the same top,left,height and width. At an instance depending upon the checkbox value, only one textbox is visible if(checkbox checked true) { textboxMasked.Visibility = false; textboxUnmasked.Visibility = true; textboxUnMasked.Text = textboxMasked.Text } else { textboxMasked.Visibility = true; textboxUnmasked.Visibility = false; textboxMasked.Text = textboxunMasked.Text } In the check box unchecked event,do the above Hope this solve ur issue... please reply back if it solved ur requirement

Do the following textBox1.PasswordChar = '\0';

[gauthee]

TextBox.PasswordChar Property The character used to mask characters entered in a single-line TextBox control. Set the value of this property to 0 (character value) if you do not want the control to mask characters as they are typed. Equals 0 (character value) by default.
