First tip: Compile (by clicking on F7) twice if working with a table of contents.

QDoubleValidator

QDoubleValidator is strange in that it seems to allow data that exceeds its specified range. Actually, it passes with the state 'intermediate', as opposed to 'valid' or 'invalid'. This may seem like a bug, and has been addressed in the C++ language here. Below is my PyQt implementation. It is done by subclassing QDoubleValidator, and making it more strict. (Finally it worked! =P)

class MyDoubleValidator(Qt.QDoubleValidator):

def __init__(self, bottom, top, decimals, parent = None):

Qt.QDoubleValidator.__init__(self, bottom, top, decimals, parent)

def validate(self, input, pos):

state, pos = Qt.QDoubleValidator.validate(self, input, pos)

if input.isEmpty() or input == '.':

return Qt.QValidator.Intermediate, pos

if state != Qt.QValidator.Acceptable:

return Qt.QValidator.Invalid, pos

return Qt.QValidator.Acceptable, pos

You then need to initialize an instance of this class and assign it to the widget, e.g. a lineEdit. E.g:

min = 0

max = 1000

no_decimals = 10

aValidator = MyDoubleValidator(min, max, no_decimals, myLineEdit)

myLineEdit.setValidator(aValidator)
