Hi,
I have just started , so my question might be a little naive....
I have a data acquisition VI which I want to password protect using the input dialog VI.
I am attaching a sample program.
Is there any way to hide the characters that are being entered as "*********" ?
Thanks.

You can hide the characters by selecting Password display of Control:https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/password_display/
-If you don't event want to show the asterisk (*), i am not sure about this.

Hi Uday,
Actually text box is not a control & does not have that 'password' option.
But anyway , I have been studying an old post where the solution has been provided by converting the express VI into normal VI.

Instead of using Express VI use your own sub VI with a string control and select the Password display by rightclicking on string icon.

The updated VI works......

Actually I want this to appear as a pop up when I run my main program , not as a control sitting there permanantly......that is the reason why I am using the dialog express VI.
Is there any way to make a string control appear as a pop up when I run my labview program....

call this vi in your main VI it will run as a pop up.
