Edit Controls
Edit controls are capable of displaying a single line of text for editing. (If multiple lines of text are needed, use a custom edit control.) One special use of the edit box is for password entry, when the password flag is enabled. As the password is typed, asterisks are displayed in the control, one for each character entered.
