hide password in text box

Hello,

I have two text boxes on screen, one a username and one a password. I would
like to have the password text replaced with stars instead of displaying the
actual characters.

I have seen the example from the helpfile and it appears as though it
creates the widgets at runtime. I would just like a few lines of code to do
the substitution and to keep the text entered.

I would appreciate any assistance with this.

Thanks

Adam

ps. PtPassword is of no use to me as I have two textboxes on a pre-made
screen. I do not want to have a separate popup screen.

Answered elsewhere – Pt_CB_MODIFY_VERIFY is the way to go.
