there's a couple of ways to do it; one is to find a font, or create it, that is '*' for all keyboard entries...

the other, easier, imho, is a library called KeyMask.fll that does this very nicely for you.... works well; a little hard to 'grasp' at first; but once you get it; very cool.

You add code to the when snippet of the text box; and then the valid. and then when you need the actual value of what they typed in; you make a 3rd call to the library to return the text of what they typed.
