How to hide selection handles on QtQuickControls2 TextField?

Question

I use QtVirtualKeyboard in my QML app and as a result selection handles appear whenever some text is selected in a TextField:

Is there any way to hide these handles? Nothing in TextField or TextInput docs mention anything about this.

Is this the same as your [previous question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65190871/how-to-enable-textfield-selection-handlers-with-qtvirtualkeyboard-on-a-qquickwid)? — JarMan, Dec 16 '20 at 13:06
@JarMan the previous question was asking how to make the handles work but since I can't seem to find an answer, I'm asking now how to remove them completely. Sorry for any confusion. — Kazuto_Ute, Dec 16 '20 at 20:01

You can hide the handle by setting the InputMethodHint flag in the TextField to Qt.ImhNoTextHandles. That should get rid of the handle. ref https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qt.html
