UIInput - Password

[KChandra]

Hi!

Is there a way to disable copy pasting values in a UIInput if the Input Type is set to Password?

Yes. You can create a class derived from UIInput and overwrite the ProcessEvent function. The paste happens if the keycode is "c", on line 1072. You can check for that and exit out early if it's a password field.

1. public override ProcessEvent (Event ev)
2. {
3.     if (ev.keyCode == KeyCode.C && inputType == InputType.Password) return;
4.     base.ProcessEvent(ev);
5. }

Ah cool! Thank you so much!

Hi,

I had the same issue (and I will use the solution below), but I don't understand why it's not the default behaviour, it's very strange and uncommon that you can copy a "******" value.

Well, you're the one typing it -- you know what you're typing, so why not allow copy/paste?
