How can I use prompt user for i/p with password display?

I am trying to use "Prompt User for Input" express vi to get password from the user, am able to add a text box entry, but dont know how to make it as "Password display".

Can any one help me out on this?

Hi Kousy

With the standard express vi you can't do this. So here are the steps how you can do it:

1. Place the express vi on the block diagram and configure it as needed
2. Right-click it and select "open front panel"
3. In the following dialog select convert -> now it is a normal sub-vi
4. Right-click the string-control and select "Password display"
5. Save the vi

Now it should work.

Hope this helps.
