DI_PSWEDIT

DI_PSWEDIT dialog item describes a password edit control. It is the same as DI_EDIT, except the text in the DI_PSWEDIT is hidden with '*' symbols.

struct FarDialogItem
{
  int Type          = DI_PSWEDIT
  int X1            = X1
  int Y1            = Y
  int X2            = X2
  int Y2            = Y (equals to Y1)
  int Focus         = Focus
  int Selected      = 0
  DWORD Flags       = Flags
  int DefaultButton = DefaultButton
  char Data[512]    = the text for editing
};
