set_visibility


Description:

public void set_visibility (bool visible)

Sets whether the contents of the text widget are visible or not.

When visibility is set to false, characters are displayed as the invisible char, and it will also appear that way when the text in the widget is copied to the clipboard.

By default, GTK picks the best invisible character available in the current font, but it can be changed with [ method@Gtk.Text.set_invisible_char].

Note that you probably want to set [property@Gtk.Text:input-purpose] to [enum@Gtk.InputPurpose.password] or [enum@Gtk.InputPurpose.pin] to inform input methods about the purpose of this widget, in addition to setting visibility to false.

Parameters:

this

a text widget

visible

true if the contents of the text widget are displayed as plain text
