Create a custom font, leaving out virtually all glyphs except the default glyph (number -1). For it, instead of supplying an open rectangle like is customary on the device, supply an asterisk. Follow the normal methods for initializing the font at runtime, and set the field to the custom font. You can use freeware such as xFont to create the font glyph file, or just use a text editor since you only need one character. Then use PilRC to create the font resource, or if already using a *.rcp resource file, add the FONT declarations to it. See the PilRC manual for more information on custom fonts, and optionally google for xFont.
