I am building a cross platform app using MVVMCROSS.

I have to use a watermark password box in my app. I tried using the excellent WinRT xaml toolkit but when i try to build the solution i get the error -

 "Error 40  Payload file "winrtxamltoolkit.1.6.0.3\lib\netcore45\WinRTXamlToolkit\Controls\ToolWindow\ToolWindow.xaml' does not exist"

So am guessing it doesnt work for netcore45 ?

Anyway I also tried using this solution http://www.julmar.com/blog/programming/adding-a-watermark-to-a-passwordbox-in-a-windows-store-app/

But unfortunately it doesnt work when i put two watermarkPasswordBoxes in a stack panel together.

Is there any working example of Watermark Password Box in WinRT XAML ?

Sorry, I missed packaging that file into 8.0 as I mainly work on 8.1 and VS2013. It should be fixed now in 1.6.0.4. Just update your NuGet package and it should work.

  • Hey Filip! Thanks a lot for the update!! But after installing 1.6.0.4 today am not able to access WatermarkPasswordBox at all. Could you please check if you missed something ? – Bitsian Apr 03 '14 at 04:39
  • Wait its working! But the intellisense seems to be off for some reason for the controls in toolkit! Any idea if its my issue or library's ? – Bitsian Apr 03 '14 at 04:43
  • Not sure, it's working for me. Can you try updating to 1.6.0.5? I've had another glitch in the nuget package. – Filip Skakun Apr 03 '14 at 06:05
  • Either way thanks a ton for updating it on such short notice!! :D – Bitsian Apr 03 '14 at 06:36
  • One suggestion i do have for the WatermarkPasswordBox! The watermark doesnt dissappear if we go to the password box using tab! It only dissappears when u click on the password box! If possible please fix it! – Bitsian Apr 03 '14 at 06:37
  • I remember there was some issue with it, but I'm not sure if this can be fixed easily/quickly/at all. You can tab twice and it should work. – Filip Skakun Apr 03 '14 at 07:35
