  void SetPasswordChar( char ch );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <ch>        Specifies the character to be displayed in place of the
              character typed by the user. If <ch> is 0, the actual
              characters typed by the user are displayed.
 
  Remarks
 
  Sets or removes a password character displayed in an edit control when
  the user enters text. When a password character is set, that character
  is displayed for each character the user types in.
 
  This member function has no effect on a multiple-line edit control.
 
  When the SetPasswordChar member function is called, CEdit will redraw
  all visible characters using the character specified by <ch>.
 
  If the edit control is created with the ◄ES_PASSWORD► style, the default
  password character is set to an asterisk (*). This style is removed if
  SetPasswordChar is called with <ch> set to 0.
