[SOLVED] BUG: UIInput not hiding password if text set from code

[helmesjo]

Hola!

Basically, setting the UIInput.text-property from code will not hide the characters for passwords. After some quick digging I found that the UILabel.password-property was never set in Init() of UIInput, only in OnSelected()... I think you just took for granted that the password would always be typed in.

Here is my fix (in UIInput):

1. protected void Init ()
2.         {
3.                 if (mDoInit)
4.                 {
5.                         mDoInit = false;
6.                         if (label == null) label = GetComponentInChildren<UILabel>();
7.  
8.                         if (label != null)
9.                         {
10.                                 if (useLabelTextAtStart) mText = label.text;
11.                                 mDefaultText = label.text;
12.                                 mDefaultColor = label.color;
13.                                 label.supportEncoding = false;
14.                                 mPivot = label.pivot;
15.                                 mPosition = label.cachedTransform.localPosition.x;
16.                                
17.                                 //Zup yo!<---------------------------------------------------------------
18.                                 if (isPassword)
19.                                         label.password = true;
20.                                 //-----------------------------------------------------------------------
21.                         }
22.                         else enabled = false;
23.                 }
24.         }
25.  

Cheers!

You're right. I will add the fix, thanks.

Doesn't appear to be fixed. Just ran into this so I checked and there was an NGUI update available. It has "label.password = isPassword;" in Init() but setting the .text from code results in clear text in the label. If I type it shows stars. If I add via code after typing it shows stars. If I select the label (which clears it) and hit enter without typing then subsequent sets from code are clear text again.
