QLineEdit validator

[pobere]

Hi,

in a constructor of a class that inherits QLineEdit I have the following:

setInputMask("99:99");
QRegExp regexp("^([0-1][0-9]|[2][0-3]):([0-5][0-9])$");
QRegExpValidator *validator = new QRegExpValidator(regexp, this);
setValidator(validator);

setInputMask("99:99");
QRegExp regexp("^([0-1][0-9]|[2][0-3]):([0-5][0-9])$");
QRegExpValidator *validator = new QRegExpValidator(regexp, this);
setValidator(validator);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This helps me to display and edit the time.

The validator works fine and also the input mask.The only problem is that:
the cursor can be moved at the position 5, and here is no char to change!
But we have in the mask only 5 chars, and the maximum position could be 4!

How can I get rid of such an annoying thing.


thanks.

Maybe QLineEdit::setMaxLength() could help you.

Nope, it doesn't.

If the line edit has an input mask, the mask defines the maximum string length.

The max length should be already set to 5 (in my case) by the mask...

I think, the validator should also validate the cursor position ... but it doesn't only for the last position (which is not valid).
