I did a search for tcl/tk mask entry password
with no good results. I have a couple of ideas but I am wondering if
there is already a published way to mask input into a
entry .ft.1
box?

TIA.

Keith

Unsure if I've understood the question correctly, but
you probably need the -show option. Its argument is a character to be
displayed instead of each one in the entry:

entry .ft.e1 -show *
ttk::entry .ft.e2 -show * ;# ttk::entry supports this option too

Great! I'm glad I asked.
