[wxPython-users] Change the wx.TE_PASSWORD style in a TextCtrl

[Marco Meoni - Sbaush]

i solved with this code:

if "condition":
      self.value.SetWindowStyle(wx.NORMAL)
else: self.value.SetWindowStyle(wx.TE_PASSWORD)

On Linux it works perfectly, but on Windows this doesn't work... It's
normal?
Can i write my code better?

Thanks.
Marco.
