I have a form that has a TextBox on it, that accepts an ID# and then does a
lookup.
There are two ways that I want to get the ID# from the user, either by
typing it in, or by accepting input from a card reader (which I have working
just fine).
When the user is typing in the number, obviously, I want them to see the
characters they are typing
But, when the input comes from the card reader, I don't want to display the
text since it also has some control and other charcters from the card data
that I don't want to display, and the number from the card reader is really
not important to the user, just the results of the lookup after the data
entry.
What is the best way to allow the input into the text box, but still not
show it?
