How to hide selection handles on QtQuickControls2 TextField?

Question

I use QtVirtualKeyboard in my QML app and as a result selection handles appear whenever some text is selected in a TextField:

Is there any way to hide these handles? Nothing in TextField or TextInput docs mention anything about this.

Answer 1

You can hide the handle by setting the InputMethodHint flag in the TextField to Qt.ImhNoTextHandles. That should get rid of the handle. ref https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html
