SWT: Text: test box of type password

By using the style constant SWT.PASSWORD, you can make the text box to store password.

Example

Text text1 = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.PASSWORD);

package swt_app;

import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;

public class Test {

 private static int xPosition = 30;
 private static int yPosition = 30;
 private static int width = 500;
 private static int height = 30;
 private static int scrollWidth = 500;
 private static int scrollHeight = 350;

 private static int shellWidth = 600;
 private static int shellHeight = 600;

 private static void addTextToShell(Display display, Shell shell) {

  Text text1 = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.PASSWORD);
  text1.setText("Bordered text box");
  text1.setBounds(xPosition, yPosition, width, height);

  yPosition += 40;

  Text text2 = new Text(shell, SWT.BORDER | SWT.H_SCROLL | SWT.V_SCROLL);
  text2.setText("Bordered scrolled text box");
  text2.setBounds(xPosition, yPosition, scrollWidth, scrollHeight);

 }

 public static void main(String[] args) {

  /* Instantiate Display object, it represents SWT session */
  Display display = new Display();

  /*
   * Define Shell, it represent a window, You can add more than one shell
   * to Display
   */
  Shell shell = new Shell(display);
  shell.setSize(shellWidth, shellHeight);

  addTextToShell(display, shell);

  /* Open shell window */
  shell.open();

  /*
   * Run the event dispatching loop until an exit condition occurs, which
   * is typically when the main shell window is closed by the user.
   */

  while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
   if (!display.readAndDispatch())
    display.sleep();
  }

  /* Dispose the display */
  display.dispose();
 }
}
