I'm trying to hide a password shown as a DataGridViewTextBoxColumn in a DataGrid. Unlike a normal text box this DataGridViewTextBoxColumn does not have a PasswordCharacter property to display * instead of plain text. How can I achieve this?

After waiting helplessly for an answer I've decide to rephrase my question.

All I would I would like to do is hide password characters for example, if the password is "labdt" I want it to be displayed as "*****" in System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid control. how can I achieve this?

Please help

Do you really need to diplay that column at all?

You could hide it

dgv1.Columns[1].Visible = false;
