Remarks

A user can enter a single line of non-wrapping content in an IXRPasswordBox control. The user cannot view the entered text; only password characters that represent the text are displayed. You can specify the password character by using IXRPasswordBox::SetPasswordChar.

The content displayed in this password box control is the string that can be accessed through IXRPasswordBox::GetPassword.

You can use the IXRTextBlock control to provide labels for this password box.

You can also define a password-box control in Microsoft Silverlight 2 XAML.
