User Password Configuration

What is the best way to handle the user password creation text box?

Currently the user password and confirmation text boxes are displayed in plain text.  I have tried a number of methods to convert the text into a diffrent character masking the entered password.  I have also tried changing the fonts to hide the password, changing font color to the background color, transparent font color, and placing a label on top of the password text box.  I have also written a function that takes in the password and outputs the appropriate number of masking characters.

I can't seem to get the standard password screen effect that displays ****** or a different character for each password character entered.


Any tips would be helpful.

There is a property of the textbox widget called MaskInputCharacters. If you select true for this, then you will see the behavior you are requesting.
