How can I hide input characters in comand line, using c++

[modwad]

Im trying to create an install script using c++ and i need to know how to hide characters or replace them with astericks on the comand line when a user is typing a pasword. Anyone know of any flags or functions i can use to do this. i'v looked through the library and had no luck. Plz help me out, im goin crazy.

this should help:

#include <conio.h>
#define ENTER 13

void main()
{
	char password[30] = {0};
	int i = 0;

	cprintf(&quot;Enter password: &quot;);

	while( ( password[i++] = getch()) != ENTER )
	{
		putch('*');
	}
	
	cprintf(&quot;\npassword: %s\n&quot;,password);
}
