QSpinBox without QLineEdit (only arrows)

[DerekDomino]

Hello,

Is it possible to hide/remove the QLineEdit that is shipped with a QSpinBox so that we are left only with the up/down arrows or plus/minus buttons?

It seems possible to make the QLineEdit read only (via QAbstractSpinBox) but not to remove it.

Thanks

in gui programming, SpinBox is a control that has up/down key with textbox and you can change the value of textbox with keys.
but if you want to do this,it's better to design your own control.it's easy.

Hi Abbas,

Thanks for your reply. The advantage would be to not recode all the behaviour of the widget. I would then just have to connect my slots to the Qt widget's signals.

In fact I tried to do my own replacement with just two buttons (QPushButton or QToolButton) and then set a "plus" and "minus" icon/background image for these buttons but I'm experiencing problems with the clickable area:

OK . I'm going to answer it soon. :)
