Make TextBox Text Display Like PasswordBox Text

I want to make a TextBox's Text display like a PasswordBox's Text. Is there any way by which I can do it? I think styling the TextBox may work. I tried to style it using PasswordBox's default style (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd334412.aspx) but it didn't work.

You can try this by adding FontFamily of the TextBox as following:

<TextBox Text="{Binding YOUR_PROPERTY}"
         FontFamily="ms-appx:///Assets/PassDot.ttf#PassDot"
         FontSize="35"/>

In my case this worked just fine.

Use an IValueConverter in wich you replace each character in the Text variable of your TextBox with a *, then put the resulting string of stars in the tag property of your TextBox. This way, your textbox is not showing the actual string edited (which is a password here if i understood you right).

In your binding, put UpdateSourceTrigger="PropertyChanged" to get it updated on every key instead of on LostFocus. Then bind the text displayed to the TextBox.Tag property.

There is a PasswordBox in WPF since .Net 3.0 onwards.

Is this what you are looking for?
