Password field for pyforms?

Question

My UI is written in pyforms.

How can I implement a password field? (EG. instead of 'P@ssW0rd' it would display '********').

I have found that I can utilize QLineEdit.EchoMode, but unsure how to implement.

Thanks in advance!

You can add the following module as ControlPasswordText.py in your project folder:

from pysettings import conf
from pyforms.Controls import ControlText

from PyQt4.QtGui import QLineEdit

class ControlPasswordText(ControlText):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(ControlPasswordText, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.form.lineEdit.setEchoMode(QLineEdit.Password)

And here's how you would use it:

import pyforms
from   pyforms          import BaseWidget
from   pyforms.Controls import ControlText
from   pyforms.Controls import ControlButton

# Importing the module here
from ControlPasswordText import ControlPasswordText

class SimpleExample1(BaseWidget):

    def __init__(self):
        super(SimpleExample1,self).__init__('Simple example 1')

        #Definition of the forms fields
        self._username     = ControlText('Username')
        # Using the password class
        self._password    = ControlPasswordText('Password')


#Execute the application
if __name__ == "__main__":   pyforms.startApp( SimpleExample1 )

Result:
