Usage
You use this widget like a Text widget but you do not have to set the SWT.PASSWORD style :
final PasswordRevealer revealer = new PasswordRevealer(shell, SWT.NONE); revealer.setBackground(white);
All methods of the Text widget can be used :
String password = revealer.getText(); revealer.addListener(SWT.Modify, e-> System.out.println("Modified")); revealer.setForeground(foregroundColor); ...
You can change the "eye" icon if you wish:
For that you need to call the methods setImage() and setClickImage()
revelear.setImage(image); revelear.setClickImage(clickImage);
