edit text in GUI as password??

Hi everyone!!! I have edit text box in GUI and I want to hiding all words as password (like ***) so how to do it??

Thanks

The easiest way is to set the text font(change arial for Webdings) to something like symbols then you get some squares in the edit field.

Hi,

How can I put password and it should show "******" for each character in the box?
