Solved QLineEdit cursor issue

[Cobra91151]

Hi! I added IP mask to the QLineEdit, but the cursor on focus is bold.

Code:

QLineEdit *lineEdit = new QLinedEdit(this);
lineEdit->setClearButtonEnabled(true);
lineEdit->setInputMask("000.000.000.000");
lineEdit->setInputMethodHints(Qt::ImhDigitsOnly);

How to make it font normal?

For example:

Thanks.

Ok. So how Windows makes it to normal then?

For example:

So I have decided to remove IP mask and support IPv6 protocol as well.

Hi
You can try

class LineEditStyle : public QProxyStyle
{
public:
  LineEditStyle(QStyle *style = 0) : QProxyStyle(style) { }
int LineEditStyle::pixelMetric(PixelMetric metric, const QStyleOption *option, const QWidget *widget) const
{
  if (metric == QStyle::PM_TextCursorWidth)
    return 1;
  return QProxyStyle::pixelMetric(metric,option,widget); // ultra import to return default values for all others
}
};

then
ui->LineEdit-> setStyle(new LineEditStyle(style()));

Not sure a masked will obey it but its worth a shot.

@Cobra91151

you can use a validator instead of a mask
