How to stop screen reader(Narrator) from reading password field in QML
-
Hi I have developed a QML app for windows 10 where windows narrator can reads contents of my app (Screen). Now i want narrator not to read text i am entering in password field . can someone help in managing this ?
I have tried same with QLinedit where if i set lineedit to password mode and start typing narrators says hidden and whereas in case of TextInput it reads the keys i type even i set it to echoMode: TextInput.Password .
TextInput{
width: 240
text: ""
font.family: "Helvetica"
font.pointSize: 20
color: "blue"
focus: true
Accessible.name: ""
Accessible.description: ""
Accessible.passwordEdit: true
Accessible.ignored: trueechoMode: TextInput.Password
}@Ajay-Krishna hi
i have never used it, but maybe you can set Accessible.ignored: true on your password field ? -

what do you use as input field?
TextInput for example has an echo mode property that, when set (TextInput.Password ) should not allow the screenreader to read the content -
Hi @J-Hilk and @LeLev I tried this example its not working . Screen reader still spells the text I type
TextInput{
width: 240
text: ""
font.family: "Helvetica"
font.pointSize: 20
color: "blue"
focus: true
Accessible.name: ""
Accessible.description: ""
Accessible.passwordEdit: true
Accessible.ignored: trueechoMode: TextInput.Password } -
