The QSpinBox class provides a spin box widget (spin button).
<p> 

<p> QSpinBox allows the user to choose a value either by clicking the
up/down buttons to increase/decrease the value currently displayed
or by typing the value directly into the spin box. If the value is
entered directly into the spin box, Enter (or Return) must be
pressed to apply the new value. The value is usually an integer.
<p> Every time the value changes QSpinBox emits the <a href="#valueChanged">valueChanged</a>()
signal. The current value can be fetched with <a href="#value">value</a>() and set
with <a href="#setValue">setValue</a>().
<p> The spin box keeps the value within a numeric range, and to
multiples of the <a href="#lineStep">lineStep</a>() size (see <a href="qrangecontrol.html">QRangeControl</a> for details).
Clicking the up/down buttons or using the keyboard accelerator's
up and down arrows will increase or decrease the current value in
steps of size lineStep(). The minimum and maximum value and the
step size can be set using one of the constructors, and can be
changed later with <a href="#setMinValue">setMinValue</a>(), <a href="#setMaxValue">setMaxValue</a>() and <a href="#setLineStep">setLineStep</a>().
<p> Most spin boxes are directional, but QSpinBox can also operate as
a circular spin box, i.e. if the range is 0-99 and the current
value is 99, clicking "up" will give 0. Use <a href="#setWrapping">setWrapping</a>() if you
want circular behavior.
<p> The displayed value can be prepended and appended with arbitrary
strings indicating, for example, currency or the unit of
measurement. See <a href="#setPrefix">setPrefix</a>() and <a href="#setSuffix">setSuffix</a>(). The text in the spin
box is retrieved with <a href="#text">text</a>() (which includes any <a href="#prefix">prefix</a>() and
<a href="#suffix">suffix</a>()), or with <a href="#cleanText">cleanText</a>() (which has no prefix(), no suffix()
and no leading or trailing whitespace). <a href="#currentValueText">currentValueText</a>() returns
the spin box's current value as text.
<p> Normally the spin box displays up and down arrows in the buttons.
You can use <a href="#setButtonSymbols">setButtonSymbols</a>() to change the display to show
<b>+</b> and <b>-</b> symbols if you prefer. In either case the up
and down arrow keys work as expected.
<p> It is often desirable to give the user a special (often default)
choice in addition to the range of numeric values. See
<a href="#setSpecialValueText">setSpecialValueText</a>() for how to do this with QSpinBox.
<p> The default <a href="qwidget.html#focusPolicy">QWidget::focusPolicy</a>() is StrongFocus.
<p> If using prefix(), suffix() and <a href="#specialValueText">specialValueText</a>() don't provide
enough control, you can ignore them and subclass QSpinBox instead.
<p> QSpinBox can easily be subclassed to allow the user to input
things other than an integer value as long as the allowed input
can be mapped to a range of integers. This can be done by
overriding the virtual functions <a href="#mapValueToText">mapValueToText</a>() and
<a href="#mapTextToValue">mapTextToValue</a>(), and setting another suitable validator using
<a href="#setValidator">setValidator</a>().
<p> For example, these functions could be changed so that the user
provided values from 0.0 to 10.0, or -1 to signify 'Auto', while
the range of integers used inside the program would be -1 to 100:
<p> <pre>
        class MySpinBox : public QSpinBox
        {
            Q_OBJECT
        public:
            ...

            <a href="qstring.html">QString</a> mapValueToText( int value )
            {
                if ( <a href="#value-prop">value</a> == -1 ) // special case
                    return QString( "Auto" );

                return QString( "%1.%2" ) // 0.0 to 10.0
                    .arg( value / 10 ).arg( value % 10 );
            }

            int mapTextToValue( bool *ok )
            {
                if ( <a href="#text">text</a>() == "Auto" ) // special case
                    return -1;

                return (int) ( 10 * text().toFloat() ); // 0 to 100
            }
        };
    </pre>

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="currentValueText"></a>QSpinBox::currentValueText ()<tt> [protected]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the full text calculated from the current value, including
any prefix and suffix. If there is special value text and the
value is <a href="#minValue">minValue</a>() the <a href="#specialValueText">specialValueText</a>() is returned.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qrect.html">QRect</a> <a name="downRect"></a>QSpinBox::downRect () const
</h3>
Returns the geometry of the "down" button.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>&nbsp;* <a name="editor"></a>QSpinBox::editor () const<tt> [protected]</tt>
</h3>
Returns a pointer to the embedded <a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>.

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="eventFilter"></a>QSpinBox::eventFilter ( <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;o, <a href="qevent.html">QEvent</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;ev )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
Intercepts and handles the events coming to the embedded <a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>
that have special meaning for the QSpinBox. The object is passed
as <em>o</em> and the event is passed as <em>ev</em>.

<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qobject.html#eventFilter">QObject</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="interpretText"></a>QSpinBox::interpretText ()<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
QSpinBox calls this after the user has manually edited the
contents of the spin box (i.e. by typing in the embedded
<a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a>, rather than using the up/down buttons/keys).
<p> The default implementation of this function interprets the new
text using <a href="#mapTextToValue">mapTextToValue</a>(). If mapTextToValue() is successful, it
changes the spin box's value; if not, the value is left unchanged.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#editor">editor</a>().

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="lineStep"></a>QSpinBox::lineStep () const
</h3><p>Returns the line step.
See the <a href="qspinbox.html#lineStep-prop">"lineStep"</a> property for details.
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="mapTextToValue"></a>QSpinBox::mapTextToValue ( bool&nbsp;*&nbsp;ok )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
This virtual function is used by the spin box whenever it needs to
interpret text entered by the user as a value. The text is
available as <a href="#text">text</a>() and as <a href="#cleanText">cleanText</a>(), and this function must
parse it if possible. If <em>ok</em> is not 0: if it parses the text
successfully, <em>*ok</em> is set to TRUE; otherwise <em>*ok</em> is set to
FALSE.
<p> Subclasses that need to display spin box values in a non-numeric
way need to reimplement this function.
<p> Note that Qt handles <a href="#specialValueText">specialValueText</a>() separately; this function
is only concerned with the other values.
<p> The default implementation tries to interpret the text() as an
integer in the standard way and returns the integer value.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#interpretText">interpretText</a>() and <a href="#mapValueToText">mapValueToText</a>().

<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="mapValueToText"></a>QSpinBox::mapValueToText ( int&nbsp;v )<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
This virtual function is used by the spin box whenever it needs to
display value <em>v</em>. The default implementation returns a string
containing <em>v</em> printed in the standard way. Reimplementations may
return anything. (See the example in the detailed description.)
<p> Note that Qt does not call this function for <a href="#specialValueText">specialValueText</a>()
and that neither <a href="#prefix">prefix</a>() nor <a href="#suffix">suffix</a>() are included in the return
value.
<p> If you reimplement this, you may also need to reimplement
<a href="#mapTextToValue">mapTextToValue</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="#updateDisplay">updateDisplay</a>() and <a href="#mapTextToValue">mapTextToValue</a>().

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="maxValue"></a>QSpinBox::maxValue () const

See the <a href="qspinbox.html#prefix-prop">"prefix"</a> property for details.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="rangeChange"></a>QSpinBox::rangeChange ()<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
This virtual function is called by <a href="qrangecontrol.html">QRangeControl</a> whenever the
range has changed. It adjusts the default validator and updates
the display; if you need additional processing, you can
reimplement this function.

See the <a href="qspinbox.html#value-prop">"value"</a> property for details.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="valueChange"></a>QSpinBox::valueChange ()<tt> [virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
This virtual function is called by <a href="qrangecontrol.html">QRangeControl</a> whenever the
value has changed. The QSpinBox reimplementation updates the
display and emits the <a href="#valueChanged">valueChanged</a>() signals; if you need
additional processing, either reimplement this or connect to one
of the valueChanged() signals.

<p>Reimplemented from <a href="qrangecontrol.html#valueChange">QRangeControl</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="valueChanged"></a>QSpinBox::valueChanged ( int&nbsp;value )<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>

<p> This signal is emitted every time the value of the spin box
changes; the new value is passed in <em>value</em>. This signal will be
emitted as a result of a call to <a href="#setValue">setValue</a>(), or because the user
changed the value by using a keyboard accelerator or mouse click,
etc.
<p> Note that the <a href="#valueChanged">valueChanged</a>() signal is emitted <em>every</em> time, not
just for the "last" step; i.e. if the user clicks "up" three
times, this signal is emitted three times.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#value-prop">value</a>.

<p>Examples: <a href="listbox-example.html#x1445">listbox/listbox.cpp</a>, <a href="qfd-example.html#x2009">qfd/fontdisplayer.cpp</a>, and <a href="scribble-example.html#x939">scribble/scribble.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="valueChanged-2"></a>QSpinBox::valueChanged ( const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;valueText )<tt> [signal]</tt>
</h3>

<p> This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> This signal is emitted whenever the <a href="#valueChanged">valueChanged</a>( int ) signal is
emitted, i.e. every time the value of the spin box changes
(whatever the cause, e.g. by <a href="#setValue">setValue</a>(), by a keyboard
accelerator, by mouse clicks, etc.).
<p> The <em>valueText</em> parameter is the same string that is displayed in
the edit field of the spin box.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#value-prop">value</a>, <a href="#prefix-prop">prefix</a>, <a href="#suffix-prop">suffix</a>, and <a href="#specialValueText-prop">specialValueText</a>.

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="wrapping"></a>QSpinBox::wrapping () const
</h3><p>Returns TRUE if it is possible to step the value from the highest value to the lowest value and vice versa; otherwise returns FALSE.
See the <a href="qspinbox.html#wrapping-prop">"wrapping"</a> property for details.
<hr><h2>Property Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a href="qspinbox.html#ButtonSymbols-enum">ButtonSymbols</a> <a name="buttonSymbols-prop"></a>buttonSymbols</h3>
<p>This property holds the current button symbol mode.
<p>The possible values can be either <a href="#ButtonSymbols-enum">UpDownArrows</a> or <a href="#ButtonSymbols-enum">PlusMinus</a>.
The default is <a href="#ButtonSymbols-enum">UpDownArrows</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#ButtonSymbols-enum">ButtonSymbols</a>.

<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setButtonSymbols">setButtonSymbols</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#buttonSymbols">buttonSymbols</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="cleanText-prop"></a>cleanText</h3>
<p>This property holds the spin box's text with no <a href="#prefix">prefix</a>(), <a href="#suffix">suffix</a>() or leading or trailing whitespace.
<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#cleanText">cleanText</a>().
<p><p>See also <a href="#text-prop">text</a>, <a href="#prefix-prop">prefix</a>, and <a href="#suffix-prop">suffix</a>.

<h3 class=fn>int <a name="lineStep-prop"></a>lineStep</h3>
<p>This property holds the line step.
<p>When the user uses the arrows to change the spin box's value the
value will be incremented/decremented by the amount of the line
step.
<p> The <a href="#setLineStep">setLineStep</a>() function calls the virtual <a href="qrangecontrol.html#stepChange">stepChange</a>() function
if the new line step is different from the previous setting.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qrangecontrol.html#setSteps">QRangeControl::setSteps</a>() and <a href="qrangecontrol.html#setRange">setRange</a>().

<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setLineStep">setLineStep</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#lineStep">lineStep</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="maxValue-prop"></a>maxValue</h3>
<p>This property holds the maximum value of the spin box.
<p>When setting this property, <a href="#minValue-prop">QSpinBox::minValue</a> is adjusted, if
necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qrangecontrol.html#setRange">setRange</a>() and <a href="#specialValueText-prop">specialValueText</a>.

<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setMaxValue">setMaxValue</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#maxValue">maxValue</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="minValue-prop"></a>minValue</h3>
<p>This property holds the minimum value of the spin box.
<p>When setting this property, <a href="#maxValue-prop">QSpinBox::maxValue</a> is adjusted, if
necessary, to ensure that the range remains valid.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qrangecontrol.html#setRange">setRange</a>() and <a href="#specialValueText-prop">specialValueText</a>.

<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setMinValue">setMinValue</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#minValue">minValue</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="prefix-prop"></a>prefix</h3>
<p>This property holds the spin box's prefix.
<p>The prefix is prepended to the start of the displayed value.
Typical use is to display a unit of measurement or a currency
symbol. For example:
<p> <pre>
        sb-&gt;setPrefix( "$" );
    </pre>
 
<p> To turn off the prefix display, set this property to an empty
string. The default is no prefix. The prefix is not displayed for
the <a href="#minValue">minValue</a>() if <a href="#specialValueText">specialValueText</a>() is not empty.
<p> If no prefix is set, <a href="#prefix">prefix</a>() returns <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#suffix-prop">suffix</a>.

<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setPrefix">setPrefix</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#prefix">prefix</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="specialValueText-prop"></a>specialValueText</h3>
<p>This property holds the special-value text.
<p>If set, the spin box will display this text instead of a numeric
value whenever the current value is equal to minVal(). Typical use
is to indicate that this choice has a special (default) meaning.
<p> For example, if your spin box allows the user to choose the margin
width in a print dialog and your application is able to
automatically choose a good margin width, you can set up the spin
box like this:
<pre>
        QSpinBox marginBox( -1, 20, 1, parent, "marginBox" );
        marginBox-&gt;<a href="#setSuffix">setSuffix</a>( " mm" );
        marginBox-&gt;<a href="#setSpecialValueText">setSpecialValueText</a>( "Auto" );
    </pre>
 
The user will then be able to choose a margin width from 0-20
millimeters or select "Auto" to leave it to the application to
choose. Your code must then interpret the spin box value of -1 as
the user requesting automatic margin width.
<p> All values are displayed with the <a href="#prefix">prefix</a>() and <a href="#suffix">suffix</a>() (if set),
<em>except</em> for the special value, which only shows the special
value text.
<p> To turn off the special-value text display, call this function
with an empty string. The default is no special-value text, i.e.
the numeric value is shown as usual.
<p> If no special-value text is set, <a href="#specialValueText">specialValueText</a>() returns
<a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a>.

<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setSpecialValueText">setSpecialValueText</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#specialValueText">specialValueText</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="suffix-prop"></a>suffix</h3>
<p>This property holds the suffix of the spin box.
<p>The suffix is appended to the end of the displayed value. Typical
use is to display a unit of measurement or a currency symbol. For
example:
<p> <pre>
        sb-&gt;setSuffix( " km" );
    </pre>
 
<p> To turn off the suffix display, set this property to an empty
string. The default is no suffix. The suffix is not displayed for
the <a href="#minValue">minValue</a>() if <a href="#specialValueText">specialValueText</a>() is not empty.
<p> If no suffix is set, <a href="#suffix">suffix</a>() returns a <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#prefix-prop">prefix</a>.

<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setSuffix">setSuffix</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#suffix">suffix</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="text-prop"></a>text</h3>
<p>This property holds the spin box's text, including any <a href="#prefix">prefix</a>() and <a href="#suffix">suffix</a>().
<p>There is no default text.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#value-prop">value</a>.

<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#text">text</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="value-prop"></a>value</h3>
<p>This property holds the value of the spin box.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setValue">setValue</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#value">value</a>().
<p><p>See also <a href="qrangecontrol.html#setValue">QRangeControl::setValue</a>().

<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="wrapping-prop"></a>wrapping</h3>
<p>This property holds whether it is possible to step the value from the highest value to the lowest value and vice versa.
<p>By default, wrapping is turned off.
<p> If you have a range of 0..100 and wrapping is off when the user
reaches 100 and presses the Up Arrow nothing will happen; but if
wrapping is on the value will change from 100 to 0, then to 1,
etc. When wrapping is on, navigating past the highest value takes
you to the lowest and vice versa.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#minValue-prop">minValue</a>, <a href="#maxValue-prop">maxValue</a>, and <a href="qrangecontrol.html#setRange">setRange</a>().

<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setWrapping">setWrapping</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#wrapping">wrapping</a>().
