How to set displayText() on QlineEdit

[Ucn_]

I have been reading the QlineEdit documentation and I came accross with displayText() const property. I tried to use it, but with no success, the documentation does not show how to use it or gives an example. Does anyone know how to use it? I would like to show my lineEdit password on button click that EchoMode is Password. Thanks

Hi,

This properly won't help you, since as the description says, it will return a platform specific mask char if echo mode is password.

If you want to show the password you have to use the text property.

QLineEdit::displayText() only returns the currently displayed text. When you want to set the text in the QLineEdit you should use QLineEdit::setText()

/edit: one second too late :)

@SGaist and @Christian-Ehrlicher thanks for the clarification. I used setEchoMode to display the text
