Creating a Password Box

Question:
I am writing a Visual Basic application that will require the user to enter a password. I have a inputbox set up for the user to enter the password. How do I tell the computer to echo ***** when the user inputs his/her password?

Answer:
I don’t know about the InputBox, but if you create a form with a text box on it, you can set the PasswordChar property to * and any text entered into the box will be displayed as asterisks.
