In the text widget, turn the keyword EDITABLE off and the
keyword ALL_EVENTS on. Now you will be getting each
input character event in your event handler. Simply
take each character as it comes in and build your
password internally. But write asterisks to the text
widget. (Only you can edit the text widget, NOT the
user.)

Cheers,

David
