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

Property Documentation
bottom : int
This property holds the validator's lowest acceptable value
By default, this property's value is derived from the lowest signed integer available (typically -2147483647).
Access functions:
int | bottom() const |
void | setBottom(int) |
See also setRange().
top : int
This property holds the validator's highest acceptable value
By default, this property's value is derived from the highest signed integer available (typically 2147483647).
Access functions:
int | top() const |
void | setTop(int) |
See also setRange().
Member Function Documentation
QIntValidator::QIntValidator(QObject *parent = nullptr)
Constructs a validator with a parent object that accepts all integers.
QIntValidator::QIntValidator(int minimum, int maximum, QObject *parent = nullptr)
Constructs a validator with a parent, that accepts integers from minimum to maximum inclusive.
[virtual]
QIntValidator::~QIntValidator()
Destroys the validator.
[override virtual]
void QIntValidator::fixup(QString &input) const
Reimplemented from QValidator::fixup().
[virtual]
void QIntValidator::setRange(int bottom, int top)
Sets the range of the validator to only accept integers between bottom and top inclusive.
[override virtual]
QValidator::State QIntValidator::validate(QString &input, int &pos) const
Reimplemented from QValidator::validate().
Returns Acceptable if the input is an integer within the valid range, Intermediate if the input is a prefix of an integer in the valid range, and Invalid otherwise.
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, then Intermediate is returned, because the user might be just about to type the minus (especially for right-to-left languages).
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.
