Text input

KitPasswordField

Password field with a visibility toggle.

Password field with a visibility toggle.
Native screenshot of the same example, rendered with Skia.

Bind text to the draft and localize reveal-label and hide-label. Use secret-visibility to control SecretVisibility.hidden or .revealed.

It presets TextPurpose.password and keeps the same editor when visibility changes. Draft and commit callbacks are inherited from KitTextField.

Complete example

This complete Slint file is a visual composition used to produce the screenshot above. Internal strings without a label property retain the kit’s default language; system dialogs follow the host platform. Projected state and callbacks requesting a decision need host wiring; the standalone fixture does not supply that controller. Set up the Rust project, then see the typed controller application for working editing, validation and selection.
