Qt designer

[acmezger]

Hello,

Is there a way to input double values with scientific notation, i.e. 1.e-7 when using my own customwidget with QProperty double ? Perhaps I am missing something but I never succeeded to introduce small or big numbers in scientific notation

Thanks

Let me see if I understand you correctly. You have a custom widget plugin for Qt Designer for your own widget, which has a property of type double. You'd like to enter the property value in the Qt property editor for this widget in scientific notation. Right?

Yes that is exactly the case. I want to introduce limits for a logarithmic plot for vacuum measurements, I.e. from 1.e-10 to 1.e-6.

I don't think it will be easy to do. Creator allows for a lot, but there are some blank areas on the map of what can be inserted. AFAIK, you can't provide non-standard editors for the property editor, especially not on a property-by-property basis for your plugin.

I think I'd either go for a special type where you separate the factor and the exponent into two fields (a double and an integer), or use a QString that you'd just verify on setting it.

Yes,

I think the way could be to have two fields. However It is a pity that the designer does not support scientific notation.

anyhow many thanks
