Over five years ago, there were a couple of blogs about extending VC++ property pages with XML files (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsproject/archive/2009/06/10/platform-extensibility-part-1.aspx, http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsproject/archive/2009/06/18/platform-extensibility-part-2.aspx). Other than these blogs, I have found very little documentation to help me.
As far as I can tell, this same property page system is now used for .jsproj project files as well. I have a custom project template based on the .jsproj project type, with my own property pages.
My question: is there a way to define a string property which is a password, and therefore, the user input is masked as entered (e.g., with asterisks or dots)?
I have seen that I can define a custom editor; I have also noticed a Subtype property. However, neither of these seem to help me as far as I can tell.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
