QLongLongValidator
-
Is there a version of the QIntValidator that supports 64 bit values? The documentation only mentions variants for int and double.
If not, where do I get the source of the QIntValidator to customize it myself? I've searched the Qt folder on my computer but only found the corresponding header files. -
Hi and welcome to devnet,
The implementation of these classes can be found in qvalidator.{h,cpp} in qtbase/src/gui/utils
Your Qt folder will only contain the headers unless you installed the sources at the same time. You can grab them from the download section here or if you feel adventurous you can clone the git repository

Hi SGaist,
thanks for the hint. I've downloaded the sources and adapted the datatypes to get validators for 32 and 64 bit ints and uints. For now I put them into my own small class and added that to my current project, but when trying to compile, I get a whole lot of "inconsistent dll linking" warnings and a few "unable to access private member" errors for example in line 31 of the source file. What have I done wrong?
Here is the part of the header file for qint32, what I have omitted is just the same for uint32, int64 and uint64:
@

It's because you are trying to access QLocale's d pointer which your class is not allowed to do
-
OK, I guessed that somehow from the error message. Let me precise my question: How do I get access to the validateChars function? The QIntValidator uses the same call and there it works obviously, although I haven't found something like "friend class QLocale".
I've noticed that most of the "inconsistent dll linkage" warnings pops up in the moc_myqvalidator.cpp file instead of the original source file, so I guess I should learn a little bit about the Q_OBJECT macro in general. Do you have a good link about that at hand?
-
You have the friendship relation upside down. QLocale says that QIntValidator is it's friend.
-
The "inconsistent dll linkage" was caused by the Q_GUI_EXPORT macro, so simply removing it fixed this sort of warnings.
After reading through some articles, this "d" member is a popular method used together with a separate private class (which is the case here). Furthermore, it has been frequently mentioned that no one except the Qt developers should mess with this "d" member, so I guess the new validator variants would only be possible by hacking the Qt framework itself and recompiling everything. But not as a custom class like I imagined. :(
-
The inconstancy probably comes from the fact that your a missing a define when build so you don't have the export effect expected from Q_GUI_EXPORT.
You are correct, you would need to modify QLocale to make it accept your subclasses as friends
