$ES_PASSWORD with GuiCtrlCreateEdit

[jefhal]

I'm pulling my hair out trying to use $ES_PASSWORD with guictrlcreateedit in one of my scripts. However, no matter what I try the edit box never hides the input as it does when using this style with InputBox.

#include <GuiConstants.au3>
#include <array.au3>
#Include <GuiTreeView.au3>
#include <GuiList.au3>
GUICreate("Add New Students",600,530)
;.....
GUICtrlCreateLabel("Default password for this class:", 30, 250, 180, 20)
$DefaultPasswordShow = GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 200, 250, 300, 20, $ES_PASSWORD) ; <<<====== Here's the culprit
GUISetState()
While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    If $msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
;....
wend

Thanks!

try using a GUICtrlCreateInput() instead of an edit
