Manpreet,
Any idea about the virtual keyboard problem?
Catch the virtual chars for opening the keyboard, and write your own
replacement. Also be sure to handle the user moving the insertion point within
the field or selections within the field to delete or replace characters.
Methinks it
Thanks Doug,
I need to try it once again

Create a custom font, leaving out virtually all glyphs except the default glyph

One quick and dirty trick that I have done is to set the font of the
field to one of the symbol fonts. That
You can catch the 'keyDownEvent' event, concat the chars and replace it in
the eventptr with a *.
Even so, I wouldn't use a field with astericks, specially if the user will
be writting the password with Graphitti. It's very common to make mistakes
with Graphitti and with the astericks he

character code you are entering (normaly code 32 and up)
Palm OS display just boxes on the text field as you enter characters.
