Shoes and edit boxes

Alright, so i've been messing around with shoes, and i'm wondering if there is a way of changing input text when dealing with edit lines.

For example, as the user is typing, the text inside the box is masked as an asterisk

here's what i have so far. Its not much, but its where im going to start from.
Ruby:
Shoes.app do
        stack :margin => 4 do
                @fill = para strong("Guess the password")
                @line = edit_line :width => 100
                @butt = button "Hit this button to enter text"
                @text = para " "
                @butt.click{
                        @new = @line.text
                        if @new == "pass"
                   @fill.replace strong("Congrats")
                           @text.replace " "
                        else
                           @text.replace "Not correct"
                    end
                }
        end
end

You could get them to type outside of an edit box, effectively building your own control.

Though it's odd... it seems like there should be an easier way for something like this. I don't actually use Shoes...

Indeed it seems like a somewhat common thing. I'll look into it further, thanks for the help though. and yeah, i guess i could just make my own text box essentially by drawing a box, fill it white and just update the letters using the keystroke {|key|...} idea.
