This was discused many time in this forum.
The two ways that comes often are:
1- Create a custom font where all the caracters are defines as *
or
2- Trap the keyDownEvent and put the real caracters in a buffer and put *
int the text feild.
3- Use one of the existing "symbol" fonts, which will put out small squares
for each character.
#3 is by far and away the easiest solution!
