You can handle the EditingControlShowing event and then cast the editing control to a TextBox and manually set the UseSystemPasswordChar to true.

C# Datagridview Columns

When your DataGridView control is set to autogenerate its columns based on data from its data source, you can selectively omit certain columns. You can do this by calling the Remove method on the Columns collection. Alternatively, you can hide columns from view by setting the Visible property to false. This technique is useful when you want to display the hidden columns in certain conditions, or when you need to access the data in the columns without displaying it.

To remove autogenerated columns

• Call the Remove method on the Columns collection.

To hide autogenerated columns

• Set the column's Visible property to false.
