Arguments: editable-text
Returns the value of the password property of its argument.
The password property may not be changed on an existing control, and must instead be specified with the inspector when designing a control (using a form) or with the :password initarg of make-instance. (It can be changed using the inspector when designing a form but not for a running control, either in the IDE or in an application.)
The value can be tnil. If it is t, the control
will echo asterisks on the dialog for each character entered. This
prevents casual observers of the user's computer screen from seeing
the password.
If the value is nil, echoed text is what is typed.
password is a property of the editable-text, and the multi-line-editable-text classes.
