Detailed Description

The QIntValidator class provides a validator that ensures a string contains a valid integer within a specified range.

\inmodule QtGui

Example of use:

QValidator *validator = new QIntValidator(100, 999, this);
QLineEdit *edit = new QLineEdit(this);
 
// the edit lineedit will only accept integers between 100 and 999
edit->setValidator(validator);

Below we present some examples of validators. In practice they would normally be associated with a widget as in the example above.

QString str;
int pos = 0;
QIntValidator v(100, 900, this);
 
str = "1";
v.validate(str, pos);     // returns Intermediate
str = "012";
v.validate(str, pos);     // returns Intermediate
 
str = "123";
v.validate(str, pos);     // returns Acceptable
str = "678";
v.validate(str, pos);     // returns Acceptable
 
str = "999";
v.validate(str, pos);    // returns Intermediate
 
str = "1234";
v.validate(str, pos);     // returns Invalid
str = "-123";
v.validate(str, pos);     // returns Invalid
str = "abc";
v.validate(str, pos);     // returns Invalid
str = "12cm";
v.validate(str, pos);     // returns Invalid

Notice that the value 999 returns Intermediate. Values consisting of a number of digits equal to or less than the max value are considered intermediate. This is intended because the digit that prevents a number from being in range is not necessarily the last digit typed. This also means that an intermediate number can have leading zeros.

The minimum and maximum values are set in one call with setRange(), or individually with setBottom() and setTop().

QIntValidator uses its locale() to interpret the number. For example, in Arabic locales, QIntValidator will accept Arabic digits.

Note: The QLocale::NumberOptions set on the locale() also affect the way the number is interpreted. For example, since QLocale::RejectGroupSeparator is not set by default, the validator will accept group separators. It is thus recommended to use QLocale::toInt() to obtain the numeric value.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ validate()

QValidator::State QIntValidator::validate	(	QString &	input,
		int &	pos ) const

overridevirtual

Returns \l Acceptable if the input is an integer within the valid range.

If input has at most as many digits as the top of the range, or is a prefix of an integer in the valid range, returns \l Intermediate. Otherwise, returns \l Invalid.

If the valid range consists of just positive integers (e.g., 32 to 100) and input is a negative integer, then Invalid is returned. (On the other hand, if the range consists of negative integers (e.g., -100 to -32) and input is a positive integer without leading plus sign, then Intermediate is returned, because the user might be just about to type the minus (especially for right-to-left languages).

Similarly, if the valid range is between 46 and 53, then 41 and 59 will be evaluated as \l Intermediate, as otherwise the user wouldn't be able to change a value from 49 to 51.

int pos = 0;
 
s = "abc";
v.validate(s, pos);    // returns Invalid
 
s = "5";
v.validate(s, pos);    // returns Intermediate
 
s = "50";
v.validate(s, pos);    // returns Acceptable

By default, the pos parameter is not used by this validator.
