[wxpython-users] Is there a text control that can dynamically mask/unmask its text?

[Raffaello Barella]

You can try making TWO wx.TextCtrl, same size, same position, the first one
with style wx.TE_PASSWORD and the second one without, and then show the one
you desire on instruction. You could also, with a little code in the handler
of the event wx.EVT_TEXT, replicate the same text in both controls, but
speaking of passwords it does not seem to be a good idea.
