have you understood my requirement?

m@dhu 29-Mar-11 2:51am

Yes. I don't think it is possible for TextBox control.

Ok thanks.I have done it using javascript.Some what achieved the requirement.But the problem happens with backspace and deleting from textboxes.

<asp:TextBox ID="txtpass" onkeyup="storeSSN()" runat="server">
<asp:HiddenField ID="hdfSSN" runat="server" />

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var end = 0;
function storeSSN() {
var ssn = document.getElementById('<%=txtpass.ClientID %>');
var hdfSSN = document.getElementById('<%=hdfSSN.ClientID %>');
hdfSSN.value += ssn.value.charAt(end);
end++;
for (c = 0; c < ssn.value.length; c++) {
ssn.value = ssn.value.replace(ssn.value.charAt(c), '*');
}
}
</script>
