.SH DESCRIPTION
The QIntValidator class provides a validator which ensures that a string contains a valid integer within a specified range.
.PP
Example of use:
.PP
.nf
.br
    QValidator* validator = new QIntValidator( 100, 999, this );
.br
    QLineEdit* edit = new QLineEdit( this );
.br
.br
    // the edit lineedit will only accept integers between 100 and 999
.br
    edit->setValidator( validator );
.br
.fi
.PP
Below we present some examples of validators. In practice they would normally be associated with a widget as in the example above.
.PP
.nf
.br
    QString str;
.br
    int pos = 0;
.br
    QIntValidator v( 100, 999, this );
.br
.br
    str = "1";
.br
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Intermediate
.br
    str = "12";
.br
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Intermediate
.br
.br
    str = "123";
.br
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Acceptable
.br
    str = "678";
.br
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Acceptable
.br
.br
    str = "1234";
.br
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Invalid
.br
    str = "-123";
.br
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Invalid
.br
    str = "abc";
.br
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Invalid
.br
    str = "12cm";
.br
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Invalid
.br
.fi
.PP
The minimum and maximum values are set in one call with setRange() or individually with setBottom() and setTop().

.SH MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
.SH "QIntValidator::QIntValidator ( QObject * parent, const char * name = 0 )"
Constructs a validator called \fIname\fR with parent \fIparent\fR, that accepts all integers.
.SH "QIntValidator::QIntValidator ( int minimum, int maximum, QObject * parent, const char * name = 0 )"
Constructs a validator called \fIname\fR with parent \fIparent\fR, that accepts integers from \fIminimum\fR to \fImaximum\fR inclusive.
.SH "QIntValidator::~QIntValidator ()"
Destroys the validator, freeing any resources allocated.
.SH "int QIntValidator::bottom () const"
Returns the validator's lowest acceptable value. See the "bottom" property for details.
.SH "void QIntValidator::setBottom ( int )"
Sets the validator's lowest acceptable value. See the "bottom" property for details.
.SH "void QIntValidator::setRange ( int bottom, int top )\fC [virtual]\fR"
Sets the range of the validator to only accept integers between \fIbottom\fR and \fItop\fR inclusive.
.SH "void QIntValidator::setTop ( int )"
Sets the validator's highest acceptable value. See the "top" property for details.
.SH "int QIntValidator::top () const"
Returns the validator's highest acceptable value. See the "top" property for details.
.SH "QValidator::State QIntValidator::validate ( QString & input, int & ) const\fC [virtual]\fR"
Returns Acceptable if the \fIinput\fR is an integer within the valid range, Intermediate if the \fIinput\fR is an integer outside the valid range and Invalid if the \fIinput\fR is not an integer.
.PP
Note: If the valid range consists of just positive integers (e.g. 32 - 100) and \fIinput\fR is a negative integer then Invalid is returned.
.PP
.nf
.br
    int pos = 0;
.br
    s = "abc";
.br
    v.validate( s, pos ); // returns Invalid
.br
.br
    s = "5";
.br
    v.validate( s, pos ); // returns Intermediate
.br
.br
    s = "50";
.br
    v.validate( s, pos ); // returns Valid
.br
