Detailed Description

The QLineEdit widget is a one-line text editor.

\inmodule QtWidgets

A line edit allows users to enter and edit a single line of plain text with useful editing functions, including undo and redo, cut and paste, and drag and drop.

By changing the echoMode() of a line edit, it can also be used as a write-only field for inputs such as passwords.

QTextEdit is a related class that allows multi-line, rich text editing.

Definition at line 27 of file qlineedit.h.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ActionPosition

enum QLineEdit::ActionPosition

This enum type describes how a line edit should display the action widgets to be added.

\value LeadingPosition The widget is displayed to the left of the text when using layout direction Qt::LeftToRight or to the right when using Qt::RightToLeft, respectively.

\value TrailingPosition The widget is displayed to the right of the text when using layout direction Qt::LeftToRight or to the left when using Qt::RightToLeft, respectively.

See also: addAction(), removeAction(), QWidget::layoutDirection

◆ EchoMode

enum QLineEdit::EchoMode

This enum type describes how a line edit should display its contents.

\value Normal Display characters as they are entered. This is the default. \value NoEcho Do not display anything. This may be appropriate for passwords where even the length of the password should be kept secret. \value Password Display platform-dependent password mask characters instead of the characters actually entered. \value PasswordEchoOnEdit Display characters only while they are entered. Otherwise, display characters as with Password.

◆ contextMenuEvent()

void QLineEdit::contextMenuEvent ( QContextMenuEvent * event )

overrideprotectedvirtual

Shows the standard context menu created with createStandardContextMenu().

If you do not want the line edit to have a context menu, you can set its \l contextMenuPolicy to Qt::NoContextMenu. To customize the context menu, reimplement this function. To extend the standard context menu, reimplement this function, call createStandardContextMenu(), and extend the menu returned.

void LineEdit::contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event)
{
    QMenu *menu = createStandardContextMenu();
    menu->addAction(tr("My Menu Item"));
    //...
    menu->exec(event->globalPos());
    delete menu;

◆ setValidator()

void QLineEdit::setValidator ( const QValidator * v )

Sets the validator for values of line edit to v.

The line edit's returnPressed() and editingFinished() signals will only be emitted if v validates the line edit's content as \l{QValidator::}{Acceptable}. The user may change the content to any \l{QValidator::}{Intermediate} value during editing, but will be prevented from editing the text to a value that v validates as \l{QValidator::}{Invalid}.

This allows you to constrain the text that will be stored when editing is done while leaving users with enough freedom to edit the text from one valid state to another.

To remove the current input validator, pass nullptr. The initial setting is to have no input validator (any input is accepted up to maxLength()).

Property Documentation

◆ acceptableInput

bool QLineEdit::acceptableInput

read

Whether the input satisfies the inputMask and the validator.

By default, this property is true.

See also: setInputMask(), setValidator()

Definition at line 46 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ alignment

Qt::Alignment QLineEdit::alignment

readwrite

The alignment of the line edit.

Both horizontal and vertical alignment is allowed here, Qt::AlignJustify will map to Qt::AlignLeft.

By default, this property contains a combination of Qt::AlignLeft and Qt::AlignVCenter.

See also: Qt::Alignment

Definition at line 38 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ clearButtonEnabled

bool QLineEdit::clearButtonEnabled

readwrite

Whether the line edit displays a clear button when it is not empty.

If enabled, the line edit displays a trailing \uicontrol clear button when it contains some text. Otherwise, the line edit does not show a \uicontrol clear button (the default).

See also: addAction(), removeAction()

Since: 5.2

Definition at line 49 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ cursorMoveStyle

Qt::CursorMoveStyle QLineEdit::cursorMoveStyle

readwrite

The movement style of the cursor in this line edit.

Since: 4.8

When this property is set to Qt::VisualMoveStyle, the line edit will use a visual movement style. Using the left arrow key will always cause the cursor to move left, regardless of the text's writing direction. The same behavior applies to the right arrow key.

When the property is set to Qt::LogicalMoveStyle (the default), within a left-to-right (LTR) text block, using the left arrow key will increase the cursor position, whereas using the right arrow key will decrease the cursor position. If the text block is right-to-left (RTL), the opposite behavior applies.

Definition at line 48 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ cursorPosition

int QLineEdit::cursorPosition

readwrite

The current cursor position for this line edit.

Setting the cursor position causes a repaint when appropriate.

By default, this property contains a value of 0.

Definition at line 37 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ displayText

QString QLineEdit::displayText

read

The displayed text.

If \l echoMode is \l Normal, this returns the same as text(). If \l EchoMode is \l Password or \l PasswordEchoOnEdit, it returns a string of platform-dependent password mask characters (e.g. "******"). If \l EchoMode is \l NoEcho, it returns an empty string.

By default, this property contains an empty string.

See also: setEchoMode(), text(), EchoMode

Definition at line 36 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ dragEnabled

bool QLineEdit::dragEnabled

readwrite

Whether the line edit starts a drag if the user presses and moves the mouse on some selected text.

Dragging is disabled by default.

Definition at line 42 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ echoMode

EchoMode QLineEdit::echoMode

readwrite

The line edit's echo mode.

The echo mode determines how the text entered in the line edit is displayed (or echoed) to the user.

The most common setting is \l Normal, in which the text entered by the user is displayed verbatim. QLineEdit also supports modes that allow the entered text to be suppressed or obscured: these include \l NoEcho, \l Password and \l PasswordEchoOnEdit.

The widget's display and the ability to copy or drag the text is affected by this setting.

By default, this property is set to \l Normal.

See also: EchoMode, displayText()

Definition at line 35 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ frame

bool QLineEdit::frame

readwrite

Whether the line edit draws itself with a frame.

If enabled (the default), the line edit draws itself inside a frame. Otherwise, the line edit draws itself without any frame.

Definition at line 34 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ hasSelectedText

bool QLineEdit::hasSelectedText

read

Whether there is any text selected.

hasSelectedText() returns true if some or all of the text has been selected by the user. Otherwise, it returns false.

By default, this property is false.

See also: selectedText()

Definition at line 40 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ inputMask

QString QLineEdit::inputMask

readwrite

The validation input mask.

Sets the QLineEdit's validation mask. Validators can be used instead of, or in conjunction with masks; see setValidator(). The default is an empty string, which means that no input mask is used.

To unset the mask and return to normal QLineEdit operation, pass an empty string.

The input mask is an input template string. It can contain the following elements: \table \row

Mask Characters
Defines the \l {QChar::} {Category} of input characters that are considered valid in this position. \row
Meta Characters
Various special meanings (see details below). \row
Separators
All other characters are regarded as immutable separators. \endtable

The following table shows the mask and meta characters that can be used in an input mask.

\table \header

Mask Character
Meaning \row
A
Character of the Letter category required, such as A-Z, a-z. \row
a
Character of the Letter category permitted but not required. \row
N
Character of the Letter or Number category required, such as A-Z, a-z, 0-9. \row
n
Character of the Letter or Number category permitted but not required. \row
X
Any non-blank character required. \row
x
Any non-blank character permitted but not required. \row
9
Character of the Number category required, such as 0-9. \row
0
Character of the Number category permitted but not required. \row
D
Character of the Number category and larger than zero required, such as 1-9. \row
d
Character of the Number category and larger than zero permitted but not required, such as 1-9. \row
#
Character of the Number category, or plus/minus sign permitted but not required. \row
H
Hexadecimal character required. A-F, a-f, 0-9. \row
h
Hexadecimal character permitted but not required. \row
B
Binary character required. 0-1. \row
b
Binary character permitted but not required. \header
Meta Character
Meaning \row
>
All following alphabetic characters are uppercased. \row
<
All following alphabetic characters are lowercased. \row
!
Switch off case conversion. \row
{;c}
Terminates the input mask and sets the {blank} character to {c}. \row
{[ ] { }}
Reserved. \row
\tt{\}
Use \tt{\} to escape the special characters listed above to use them as separators. \endtable

When created or cleared, the line edit will be filled with a copy of the input mask string where the meta characters have been removed, and the mask characters have been replaced with the {blank} character (by default, a space).

When an input mask is set, the text() method returns a modified copy of the line edit content where all the {blank} characters have been removed. The unmodified content can be read using displayText().

The hasAcceptableInput() method returns false if the current content of the line edit does not fulfill the requirements of the input mask.

Examples: \table \header

Mask
Notes \row
000.000.000.000;_
IP address; blanks are {_}. \row
HH:HH:HH:HH:HH:HH;_
MAC address \row
0000-00-00
ISO Date; blanks are space \row
>AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA;#
License number; blanks are {#} and all (alphabetic) characters are converted to uppercase. \endtable

To get range control (e.g., for an IP address) use masks together with \l{setValidator()}{validators}.

See also: maxLength, QChar::isLetter(), QChar::isNumber(), QChar::digitValue()

Definition at line 31 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ maxLength

int QLineEdit::maxLength

readwrite

The maximum permitted length of the text.

If the text is too long, it is truncated at the limit.

If truncation occurs, any selected text will be unselected, the cursor position is set to 0, and the first part of the string is shown.

If the line edit has an input mask, the mask defines the maximum string length.

By default, this property contains a value of 32767.

See also: inputMask

Definition at line 33 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ modified

bool QLineEdit::modified

readwrite

Whether the line edit's contents has been modified by the user.

The modified flag is never read by QLineEdit; it has a default value of false and is changed to true whenever the user changes the line edit's contents.

This is useful for things that need to provide a default value but do not start out knowing what the default should be (for example, it depends on other fields on the form). Start the line edit without the best default, and when the default is known, if modified() returns false (the user hasn't entered any text), insert the default value.

Calling setText() resets the modified flag to false.

Definition at line 39 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ placeholderText

QString QLineEdit::placeholderText

readwrite

The line edit's placeholder text.

Since: 4.7

Setting this property makes the line edit display a grayed-out placeholder text as long as the line edit is empty.

Normally, an empty line edit shows the placeholder text even when it has focus. However, if the content is horizontally centered, the placeholder text is not displayed under the cursor when the line edit has focus.

By default, this property contains an empty string.

See also: text()

Definition at line 47 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ readOnly

bool QLineEdit::readOnly

readwrite

Whether the line edit is read-only.

In read-only mode, the user can still copy the text to the clipboard, or drag and drop the text (if echoMode() is \l Normal), but cannot edit it.

QLineEdit does not show a cursor in read-only mode.

By default, this property is false.

See also: setEnabled()

Definition at line 43 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ redoAvailable

bool QLineEdit::redoAvailable

read

Whether redo is available.

Redo becomes available once the user has performed one or more undo operations on the text in the line edit.

By default, this property is false.

Definition at line 45 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ selectedText

QString QLineEdit::selectedText

read

The selected text.

If there is no selected text, this property's value is an empty string.

By default, this property contains an empty string.

See also: hasSelectedText()

Definition at line 41 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ text

QString QLineEdit::text

readwrite

The line edit's text.

Setting this property clears the selection, clears the undo/redo history, moves the cursor to the end of the line, and resets the \l modified property to false. The text is not validated when inserted with setText().

The text is truncated to maxLength() length.

By default, this property contains an empty string.

See also: insert(), clear()

Definition at line 32 of file qlineedit.h.

◆ undoAvailable

bool QLineEdit::undoAvailable

read

Whether undo is available.

Undo becomes available once the user has modified the text in the line edit.

By default, this property is false.

Definition at line 44 of file qlineedit.h.
