RE: Enter password but show '*'

Probably because every gui application which prompts for a password does
this and the users have gotten used to this to see if they've fat fingered
an extra character.

Hi All,

The question is:

I would like to enter a Password into the screen. But
for every character entered, rather than the field be
'Non display', can it show an Asterisk for every
character ?

Good luck
