Making text BLUR

[sohan0174]

I am working on a project, where I am automating IE. Where IE is accessing "www.google.com", and typing "population" and clicking on "google search" button.

Desire: I don't want to show what I am entering to the search box. Or I want the text, "population", to be blur or hidden, so that while entering the text no one can see what is being type.

MY CODE:

Sub iepart2()
 
Dim ie As Object
Set ie = CreateObject("internetexplorer.application")
 
With ie
    .Visible = TRUE
    .navigate "https://www.google.com/?hl=en"
 
Do While .busy
    DoEvents
Loop
 
Do While .readystate <> 4
    DoEvents
Loop
 
Set searchtxt = .document.getelementbyid("lst-ib")
searchtxt.Value = "population"
.document.forms(0).submit
 
Do While .busy
    DoEvents
Loop
 
Do While .readystate <> 4
    DoEvents
Loop
 
Set searchres = .document.getelementbyid("resultStats")
ThisWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1") = searchres.innertext
 
 
'.Quit
 
End With
End Sub

So I want this field to be blur getelementbyid("lst-ib")
so that whatever is being entered can't be seen by guest or others. Note: It is essential to remain IE visible true.

THANK YOU

Why use the search box? You can go directly to the results via URL. With your example of population:

https://www.google.com/search?q=population

Replace any spaces in your search with +, for example population united states:

https://www.google.com/search?q=population+united+states

Thank you, I know that, but I asked the question, to know that, is there any possible way to blur field, when text is being type. It could be any field, the motive is to hide the text from others while inputting it to IE
