In TextField not work Qt.ImhHiddenText

Mihaill

Hi!
I use in TextField:

inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhHiddenText

but the text is not hidden. Please tell me why it does not work?

But it's work:

echoMode: TextInput.Password

Why not work:

inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhHiddenText

?

@Mihaill inputMethodHints: "The value is a bit-wise combination of flags" from https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-controls-textfield.html
I'm not a QML expert, but I guess you should keep other flags when adding Qt.ImhHiddenText, like

inputMethodHints: inputMethodHints | Qt.ImhHiddenText

Not sure about syntax though.

Qt.ImhHiddenText

It's not work:

inputMethodHints: Qt.ImhDigitsOnly | Qt.ImhHiddenText

@Mihaill I have the same behavior. But according to these posts,
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50551251/qml-textinput-ignoring-inputmethodhints
https://forum.qt.io/topic/59089/how-use-inputmethodhints-property/2,
it seems that inputMethodHints is dedicated to the virtual keyboard and not the text field . I didn't find any indication about this in the doc, or I have missed it.
I guess the solution is to use

echoMode: TextInput.Password

Here is a link to the documentation.

This option works for me too. Just wondering why the documentation team isn't working. Perhaps this is a bug in Qt.
