Make the official WPF RibbonTextBox look like a PasswordBox

I'm developing an application with the official WPF Ribbon system, and I'd like to have a password field up in the ribbon. Is there any way I can modify the RibbonTextBox control to display dots instead of characters, the way a PasswordBox does? Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • Can't you just use the key up event, and take the value out of the box, store it in a variable, and replace it with the character you want?

    User presses "A" on key up, you grab the value, store it in a variable, and then replace it with an "*". Keep doing this until they stop typing in the box?
