<li>Qt.ImhHiddenText - Characters should be hidden, as is typically used when entering passwords. This is automatically set when setting <a href="qml-qtquick-controls-textfield.html#echoMode-prop">echoMode</a> to <code>TextInput.Password</code>.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhSensitiveData - Typed text should not be stored by the active input method in any persistent storage like predictive user dictionary.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhNoAutoUppercase - The input method should not try to automatically switch to upper case when a sentence ends.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhPreferNumbers - Numbers are preferred (but not required).</li>
<li>Qt.ImhPreferUppercase - Uppercase letters are preferred (but not required).</li>
<li>Qt.ImhPreferLowercase - Lowercase letters are preferred (but not required).</li>
<li>Qt.ImhNoPredictiveText - Do not use predictive text (for example, dictionary lookup) while typing.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhDate - The text editor functions as a date field.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhTime - The text editor functions as a time field.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhMultiLine - The text editor doesn't close software input keyboard when Return or Enter key is pressed (since <a href="../qtqml/qtquick-qmlmodule.html">QtQuick</a>.Controls 1.3).</li>
</ul>
<p>Flags that restrict input (exclusive flags) are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Qt.ImhDigitsOnly - Only digits are allowed.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhFormattedNumbersOnly - Only number input is allowed. This includes decimal point and minus sign.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhUppercaseOnly - Only uppercase letter input is allowed.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhLowercaseOnly - Only lowercase letter input is allowed.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhDialableCharactersOnly - Only characters suitable for phone dialing are allowed.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhEmailCharactersOnly - Only characters suitable for email addresses are allowed.</li>
<li>Qt.ImhUrlCharactersOnly - Only characters suitable for URLs are allowed.</li>
