The event loop is your friend. In your form event handler, look for 
keyDownEvent events. If they occur in your password field, copy the 
actual character to a buffer, change the character in the EventType 
structure to a bullet or asterisk, and return false for the handler. 
The default behavior for keyDown events for a text field is to enter 
the current character in the field, which you just changed.
