HI,

All the suggestions are not very clean. The best to implement this
Is to write your own event handler and keep track of the keys typed.
I've done this and it works great.  You can use '*' or any character you
want.
I've seen an medical app that displays the char typed and then displays '*'
after
A second. This is nuts. Why have your password protected? Someone can still
see
The characters typed although you hide it someone still can try to guess it.

Regards,
