Password Prompt - How?

Thanks all for your previous help.

I'm stumped again.  Here is a program I made out of example 07.
What I want is for the characters typed to display as blanks or asterisks=
 because it is a password entry field.
How can I do that?

By the way, Example 07 uses the undocumented control "SleText" instead of=
 "EditText".  What in the world is that?

include win32lib.ew
without warning
classAutoSelect(EditText, True)

constant
    Win     =3D create(Window, "Enter Password", 0, Default, Default, 400,=
 200, 0),
    Button =3D create(PushButton, "Check Value...", Win, 180, 10, 120, 20,=
 0),
    Sle1    =3D create(EditText, "", Win, 10, 40, 120, 20, 0)

constant
    aStatusBar      =3D create(StatusBar, "", Win, 0, 25, 20, 20, 0)

procedure Click_Button(integer self, integer event, sequence parms)
    sequence msg
    msg =3D getText(Sle1)
    setText(aStatusBar, msg)
end procedure

setHandler(Button, w32HClick, routine_id("Click_Button"))
WinMain(Win, Normal)
