/*!
    \class QValidator
    \brief The QValidator class provides validation of input text.

    \ingroup misc
    \mainclass

    The class itself is abstract. Two subclasses, \l QIntValidator and
    \l QDoubleValidator, provide basic numeric-range checking, and \l
    QRegExpValidator provides general checking using a custom regular
    expression.

    If the built-in validators aren't sufficient, you can subclass
    QValidator. The class has two virtual functions: validate() and
    fixup().

    \l validate() must be implemented by every subclass. It returns
    \l Invalid, \l Intermediate or \l Acceptable depending on whether
    its argument is valid (for the subclass's definition of valid).

    These three states require some explanation. An \l Invalid string
    is \e clearly invalid. \l Intermediate is less obvious: the
    concept of validity is difficult to apply when the string is
    incomplete (still being edited). QValidator defines \l Intermediate
    as the property of a string that is neither clearly invalid nor
    acceptable as a final result. \l Acceptable means that the string
    is acceptable as a final result. One might say that any string
    that is a plausible intermediate state during entry of an \l
    Acceptable string is \l Intermediate.

    Here are some examples:

    \list

    \i For a line edit that accepts integers from 10 to 1000 inclusive,
    42 and 123 are \l Acceptable, the empty string and 5 are \l
    Intermediate, and "asdf" and 1114 is \l Invalid.

    \i For an editable combobox that accepts URLs, any well-formed URL
    is \l Acceptable, "http://example.com/," is \l Intermediate
    (it might be a cut and paste action that accidentally took in a
    comma at the end), the empty string is \l Intermediate (the user
    might select and delete all of the text in preparation for entering
    a new URL) and "http:///./" is \l Invalid.

    \i For a spin box that accepts lengths, "11cm" and "1in" are \l
    Acceptable, "11" and the empty string are \l Intermediate, and
    "http://example.com" and "hour" are \l Invalid.

    \endlist

    \l fixup() is provided for validators that can repair some user
    errors. The default implementation does nothing. QLineEdit, for
    example, will call fixup() if the user presses Enter (or Return)
    and the content is not currently valid. This allows the fixup()
    function the opportunity of performing some magic to make an \l
    Invalid string \l Acceptable.

    A validator has a locale, set with setLocale(). It is typically used
    to parse localized data. For example, QIntValidator and QDoubleValidator
    use it to parse localized representations of integers and doubles.

    QValidator is typically used with QLineEdit, QSpinBox and
    QComboBox.

    \sa QIntValidator, QDoubleValidator, QRegExpValidator, {Line Edits Example}

    is likely that a little more editing will make the input
    acceptable (e.g. the user types "4" into a widget which accepts
    integers between 10 and 99), and \l Acceptable if the input is
    valid.

    The function can change both \a input and \a pos (the cursor position)

/*!
    \fn void QValidator::fixup(QString & input) const

    This function attempts to change \a input to be valid according to
    this validator's rules. It need not result in a valid string:
    callers of this function must re-test afterwards; the default does
    nothing.

    Reimplementations of this function can change \a input even if
    they do not produce a valid string. For example, an ISBN validator
    might want to delete every character except digits and "-", even
    if the result is still not a valid ISBN; a surname validator might
    want to remove whitespace from the start and end of the string,
    even if the resulting string is not in the list of accepted
    surnames.
*/

/*!
    \class QIntValidator
    \brief The QIntValidator class provides a validator that ensures
    a string contains a valid integer within a specified range.

    \ingroup misc

    Example of use:

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_widgets_qvalidator.cpp 0

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

    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_widgets_qvalidator.cpp 1

    Notice that the value \c 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 to be 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. In addition,
    QIntValidator is always guaranteed to accept a number formatted according
    to the "C" locale.

    \brief The QDoubleValidator class provides range checking of

    \ingroup misc

    QDoubleValidator provides an upper bound, a lower bound, and a
    limit on the number of digits after the decimal point. It does not
    provide a fixup() function.

    You can set the acceptable range in one call with setRange(), or
    with setBottom() and setTop(). Set the number of decimal places
    with setDecimals(). The validate() function returns the validation
    state.

    QDoubleValidator uses its locale() to interpret the number. For example,
    in the German locale, "1,234" will be accepted as the fractional number
    1.234. In Arabic locales, QDoubleValidator will accept Arabic digits.

    In addition, QDoubleValidator is always guaranteed to accept a number
    formatted according to the "C" locale. QDoubleValidator will not accept
    numbers with thousand-seperators.

    \class QRegExpValidator
    \brief The QRegExpValidator class is used to check a string
    against a regular expression.

    \ingroup misc

    QRegExpValidator uses a regular expression (regexp) to
    determine whether an input string is \l Acceptable, \l
    Intermediate, or \l Invalid. The regexp can either be supplied
    when the QRegExpValidator is constructed, or at a later time.

    When QRegExpValidator determines whether a string is \l Acceptable
    or not, the regexp is treated as if it begins with the start of string
    assertion (\bold{^}) and ends with the end of string assertion
    (\bold{$}); the match is against the entire input string, or from
    the given position if a start position greater than zero is given.

    If a string is a prefix of an \l Acceptable string, it is considered
    \l Intermediate. For example, "" and "A" are \l Intermediate for the
    regexp \bold{[A-Z][0-9]} (whereas "_" would be \l Invalid).

    For a brief introduction to Qt's regexp engine, see \l QRegExp.

    Example of use:
    \snippet doc/src/snippets/code/src_gui_widgets_qvalidator.cpp 3

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