       void setTop ( int )
       virtual void setRange ( int minimum, int maximum )
       int bottom () const
       int top () const

   Properties
       int bottom - the validator's lowest acceptable value
       int top - the validator's highest acceptable value

DESCRIPTION

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

       The validate() function returns Acceptable, Intermediate or Invalid. Acceptable means that the string is a valid integer within the
       specified range. Intermediate means that the string is a valid integer but is not within the specified range. Invalid means that the string
       is not a valid integer.

       Example of use:

	   QIntValidator v( 0, 100, this );
	   QLineEdit* edit = new QLineEdit( this );
	   // the edit lineedit will only accept integers between 0 and 100
	   edit->setValidator( &v );

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

	   QString s;
	   QIntValidator v( 0, 100, this );
	   s = "10";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Acceptable
	   s = "35";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Acceptable
	   s = "105";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Intermediate
	   s = "-763";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Invalid
	   s = "abc";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Invalid
	   s = "12v";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Invalid

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

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION

QIntValidator::QIntValidator ( QObject * parent, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs a validator called name with parent parent, that accepts all integers.

QIntValidator::QIntValidator ( int minimum, int maximum, QObject * parent, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs a validator called name with parent parent, that accepts integers from minimum to maximum inclusive.

QIntValidator::~QIntValidator ()
       Destroys the validator, freeing any resources allocated.

int QIntValidator::bottom () const
       Returns the validator's lowest acceptable value. See the "bottom" property for details.

void QIntValidator::setBottom ( int )
       Sets the validator's lowest acceptable value. See the "bottom" property for details.

void QIntValidator::setRange ( int minimum, int maximum ) [virtual]
       Sets the range of the validator to only accept integers between minimum and maximum inclusive.

void QIntValidator::setTop ( int )
       Sets the validator's highest acceptable value. See the "top" property for details.

int QIntValidator::top () const
       Returns the validator's highest acceptable value. See the "top" property for details.

QValidator::State QIntValidator::validate ( QString & input, int & ) const [virtual]
       Returns Acceptable if the input is an integer within the valid range, Intermediate if the input is an integer outside the valid range and
       Invalid if the input is not an integer.

	   s = "35";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Acceptable
	   s = "105";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Intermediate
	   s = "abc";
	   v.validate( s, 0 ); // returns Invalid

       Reimplemented from QValidator.
