QLineEdit and EchoMode Passowrd

[high_flyer]

Hi,

I am trying to make a password field by using QLineEdit with the EchoMode Password and the field is filled with '*' even when it is empty.
Calleing clear() or setting an empty string at startup makes no difference.
It works ok, I can type in my password, but it is always filled with '*'.
I thought it was a Qt-Vista related bug, but it is the same under XP.

Any one knows any thing about this?

Thanks.

Hi,

length is 0.
text() returns an empty string. (while is is full with '*' at the same time!)

As I said, I also can type in in "insert" mode (the whole length of the field), which would be possible if there was something already.

This project it really a very simple project, almost a hello world app!
Its just an ui done by designer, and all i do is read the text from the QLineEdits, thats it!

Thanks for the help!

P.S
This happens as soon as I choose Password EchoMode in Designer!!
This has nothing to do with my code!

Ok - as always, the problem is between the keyboard and the chair.
I had an input mask, which required numeric input.

Thanks!
