Oooh! A password field....nice :-) I've built a couple of support tools
to help me out at customer sites, and logon/password protection would be
helpful. Thanks for reading my mind.

Kevin...what's the schedule for releasing 0.8.1, or whatever the next
version is? I haven't got around to accessing via CVS yet because 0.8 has
more than kept me occupied so far. Just curious.

There was already a PasswordField component that you could use in a 
Background. You could also pass in a style flag to the textEntryDialog 
to get the password and multi-line variations of the dialog, but I 
figured we might as well just make them standalone functions for 
simplicity. Hope it helps.

Originally I planned on releasing 0.8.1 sometime in September, but my 
guess is it will be sometime in October. Release 0.8 didn't turn out to 
have as many bugs as I thought it might considering all the major 
changes, so I don't think anyone is clamoring for a new release. As the 
fall progresses, more and more of my time will be sucked away by the 
deluge of videogames though, so I want to get a release out before the 
coding sprint in Seattle (Oct. 23-24). That way if if I'm not doing 
much coding in October and November people will at least have the 
changes added in the last month. This is what the change log shows as 
of this morning...

Yikes! Talk about looking but not seeing - how many times have I opened
the list of components in the resource editor and missed the password
one. Thanks for the pointer and the new dialog anyway.

Sounds good. Clearly I haven't come close to using all of the stuff in
0.8 yet and there haven't been any show-stoppers with what I've been
building up to this point (simple utilities using ODBC so far).
