    XP Style Password Textbox

    Does anyone know how to get the "circles" in a password box like XP uses? I don't want to have to use the asteriks.

    Well you can use zeros . j/k but I think its an OS thing. You have to have themes enabled for it to work.

    No, I meant for it to be enabled at the OS level, meaning you have to have WinXP for it to work.

    Re: xp

    Like DevGrp said , use zero and change your textbox font to bold . It's nice .
