In IB select the text field you want and in the Inspector Window select Custom Class on drop down menu. You will see that the class is NSTextField. Just select NSSecureTextField. Just like magic!

Hey everyone, I'm not very adept at Cocoa. I play a bit but don't have a lot of experience. I'm currently working on a little utility that uses mostly AppleScript (Studio) but I figured this is more of a general Cocoa / Interface Builder question anyway. I hope its on topic enough for this list.

As dumb as it sounds I can't seem to figure out how on earth to format a text field to show "bullets" to mask a password field. At this point its pretty superficial since the password in question is being stored as plain text in the user defaults (nice & secure there huh?) but since its for personal use its not really that important. I would just like to know how to mask the user input for my own education and on the off chance that I want to store the password more securely & release the utility for the heck of it.

This may be a simple thing & I might be blind for not seeing a checkbox or something somewhere, but even searching google & the IB help I can't seem to find anything. I wouldn't even know where to begin to look in Cocoa docs.

Any advice would be so great.  Thanks in advance.
