- Install the "Widgets Toolbox" add-on from the MATLAB File Exchange by visiting the following URL: Widgets Toolbox - MATLAB App Designer Components.
- Once the add-on is installed, open MATLAB App Designer.
- In the "Components" panel on the left-hand side of the App Designer window, you should now see a new component called "PasswordField" listed under the "Widgets" section.
- To add the PasswordField component to your app's user interface, simply drag and drop it onto the app's design canvas.
- Customize the properties of the PasswordField component by selecting it on the canvas and modifying the options in the "Properties" panel on the right-hand side. You can change the label text, set a default value, adjust the size, etc., as per your requirements.
- To access the entered text from the PasswordField component in your MATLAB code, you can use its "ValueChangedFcn" callback. This callback will be triggered whenever the value of the PasswordField changes. You can assign a callback function to this event to perform actions based on the entered text.
