Password input on a treewidgetitem

[dnlhoust]

Hello all (and happy christmas/holidays!)

To the point: How do I get a QTreeWidgetItem to respect a QLineEdits setEchoMode(QLineEdit.Password) ?

I've been banging my head against the wall for this for the last day:
I have a subclass of QTreeWidgetItem (which simply adds one extra field to the class)

I create an instance of it, add it to my TreeWidget:

        twi = DIMTreeWidgetItem.DIMTreeWidgetItem(uuid.uuid4(), [field_name, '<Empty>'])
        ...
        self.ui_instance.main_window.treeWidget.addTopLevelItem(twi)

I edit that an instance based on a double click of that item with:

self.ui_instance.main_window.treeWidget.editItem(item, column)

This works fine.

I have a delegate attached to that column which is simply:

    def __init__(self, parent=None, *args):
        QStyledItemDelegate.__init__(self, parent, *args)

    def createEditor(self, parent, option, index):        
        le = QLineEdit('', parent)
        le.setEchoMode(QLineEdit.PasswordEchoOnEdit)
        return le

But it seems this only effects the item during editing. What is the correct way for me to obscure the content of the treewidgetitem after editing?

I haven't done this myself, but I'm guessing you need to override QStyledItemDelegate's paint() method as well. So something like they've done here.

You just need to translate the C++ code of the solution to python, should be easy
