Is it possible to insert a "-" in lineEdit after 2 characters entered?
-
I have a lineEdit that receives a date in the format dd-mm-yyyy. Is there a function in PyQt5 that makes it possible to add the "-" in LineEdit after the 2 characters for "Day" are typed or will I have to implement it on my own?

There is nothing for aQLineEdit, that just accepts text. You would have to subclass and implement your own logic to do this.However, since this is for a date you should see QDateEdit Class which does effectively do this, and is a better choice than
QLineEdit. It also returns the date as a date, so you don't have to parse. And you may be further interested in using its Using a Pop-up Calendar Widget optional feature. -
Hi,
Depending on what you need, QLineEdit::setInputMask might be enough for your purpose.
