    Default QTextEdit with asterisks

    Hi,

    is it possible to mask characters in a QTextEdit with asterisks (like bullets or asterisks)?

    I only know this feature for QLineEdit, but I need it in a QTextEdit...

    Thank you in anticipation!

    There is no simple to use feature.

    Do you mean the whole text or just selected parts?
    Does it have to avoid being copied with, for example, Control-C?

    Hi Chris,

    The whole text, but if you know both variants, feel free to tell me

    Does it have to avoid being copied with, for example, Control-C?
    Doesn't matter, but if you know both...

    Hi again,

    sorry for the double post, but I think this thread is going out of focus..

    Is there no way to mask user input in a QTextEdit?
