Hi,

I am using StringOptions as one of the fields for password input for a plugin, is there anyways to replace the inputs with '*' in the GUI?

Thanks,

Mark

  Unfortunately you can't do that with a StringOption directly. The best option is to use JPasswordField as a custom component in your own subclass of Options like this:

   

  class MyOptions extends Options {
  
    JPasswordField passwordField;
  
    MyOptions() {
      passwordField = new JPasswordField();
      addCustomComponent(passwordField);
    }
  
    String getPassword() {
      return new String(passwordField.getPassword());
    }
  }
