<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The QLineEdit widget is a one-line text editor.
<p>
<p> A line edit allows the user to enter and edit a single line of
plain text with a useful collection of editing functions,
including undo and redo, cut and paste, and drag and drop.
<p> By changing the <a href="#echoMode">echoMode</a>() of a line edit, it can also be used as
a "write-only" field, for inputs such as passwords.
<p> The length of the text can be constrained to <a href="#maxLength">maxLength</a>(). The text
can be arbitrarily constrained using a <a href="#validator">validator</a>() or an
<a href="#inputMask">inputMask</a>(), or both.
<p> A related class is <a href="qtextedit.html">QTextEdit</a> which allows multi-line, rich-text
editing.
<p> You can change the text with <a href="#setText">setText</a>() or <a href="#insert">insert</a>(). The text is
retrieved with <a href="#text">text</a>(); the displayed text (which may be different,
see <a href="#EchoMode-enum">EchoMode</a>) is retrieved with <a href="#displayText">displayText</a>(). Text can be
selected with <a href="#setSelection">setSelection</a>() or <a href="#selectAll">selectAll</a>(), and the selection can
be <a href="#cut">cut</a>(), <a href="#copy">copy</a>()ied and <a href="#paste">paste</a>()d. The text can be aligned with
<a href="#setAlignment">setAlignment</a>().
<p> When the text changes the <a href="#textChanged">textChanged</a>() signal is emitted; when
the Return or Enter key is pressed the <a href="#returnPressed">returnPressed</a>() signal is
emitted. Note that if there is a validator set on the line edit,
the returnPressed() signal will only be emitted if the validator
returns <tt>Acceptable</tt>.
<p> By default, QLineEdits have a frame as specified by the Windows
and <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> style guides; you can turn it off by calling
<a href="#setFrame">setFrame</a>(FALSE).
<p> The default key bindings are described below. The line edit also
provides a context menu (usually invoked by a right mouse click)
that presents some of these editing options.

<h3 class=fn><a href="qlineedit.html#EchoMode-enum">EchoMode</a> <a name="echoMode-prop"></a>echoMode</h3>
<p>This property holds the line edit's echo mode.
<p>The initial setting is <a href="#EchoMode-enum">Normal</a>, but QLineEdit also supports <a href="#EchoMode-enum">NoEcho</a> and <a href="#EchoMode-enum">Password</a> modes.
<p> The widget's display and the ability to copy or drag the text is
affected by this setting.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#EchoMode-enum">EchoMode</a> and <a href="#displayText-prop">displayText</a>.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setEchoMode">setEchoMode</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#echoMode">echoMode</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="edited-prop"></a>edited</h3>
<b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
<p> <p>This property holds whether the line edit has been edited. Use modified instead.
<p>
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setEdited">setEdited</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#edited">edited</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="frame-prop"></a>frame</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the line edit draws itself with a frame.
<p>If enabled (the default) the line edit draws itself inside a
two-pixel frame, otherwise the line edit draws itself without any
frame.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setFrame">setFrame</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#frame">frame</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="hasMarkedText-prop"></a>hasMarkedText</h3>
<b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
<p> <p>This property holds whether part of the text has been selected by the user. Use hasSelectedText instead.
<p>
<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#hasMarkedText">hasMarkedText</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="hasSelectedText-prop"></a>hasSelectedText</h3>
<p>This property holds whether there is any text selected.
<p>hasSelectedText() returns TRUE if some or all of the text has been
selected by the user; otherwise returns FALSE.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#selectedText-prop">selectedText</a>.
<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#hasSelectedText">hasSelectedText</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="inputMask-prop"></a>inputMask</h3>
<p>This property holds the validation input mask.
<p>If no mask is set, <a href="#inputMask">inputMask</a>() returns <a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a>.
<p> Sets the QLineEdit's validation mask. Validators can be used
instead of, or in conjunction with masks; see <a href="#setValidator">setValidator</a>().
<p> Unset the mask and return to normal QLineEdit operation by passing
an empty string ("") or just calling <a href="#setInputMask">setInputMask</a>() with no
arguments.
<p> The mask format understands these mask characters:
<center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top">Character <th valign="top">Meaning
<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top"><tt>A</tt> <td valign="top">ASCII alphabetic character required. A-Z, a-z.

<p> The mask consists of a string of mask characters and separators,
optionally followed by a semi-colon and the character used for
blanks: the blank characters are always removed from the text
after editing. The default blank character is space.
<p> Examples:
<center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top">Mask <th valign="top">Notes
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top"><tt>000.000.000.000;_</tt> <td valign="top">IP address; blanks are <tt>_</tt>.
<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top"><tt>0000-00-00</tt> <td valign="top">ISO Date; blanks are <tt>space</tt>
<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top"><tt>>AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA-AAAAA;#</tt> <td valign="top">License number;
blanks are <tt>-</tt> and all (alphabetic) characters are converted to
uppercase.
</table></center>
<p> To get range control (e.g. for an IP address) use masks together
with <a href="#setValidator">validators</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#maxLength-prop">maxLength</a>.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setInputMask">setInputMask</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#inputMask">inputMask</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="markedText-prop"></a>markedText</h3>
<b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
<p> <p>This property holds the text selected by the user. Use selectedText instead.
<p>
<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#markedText">markedText</a>().
<h3 class=fn>int <a name="maxLength-prop"></a>maxLength</h3>
<p>This property holds the maximum permitted length of the text.
<p>If the text is too long, it is truncated at the limit.
<p> 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.
<p> If the line edit has an input mask, the mask defines the maximum
string length.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#inputMask-prop">inputMask</a>.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setMaxLength">setMaxLength</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#maxLength">maxLength</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="modified-prop"></a>modified</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the line edit's contents has been modified by the user.
<p>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.
<p> This is useful for things that need to provide a default value but
do not start out knowing what the default should be (perhaps 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.
<p> Calling <a href="#clearModified">clearModified</a>() or <a href="#setText">setText</a>() resets the modified flag to
FALSE.
<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#isModified">isModified</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="readOnly-prop"></a>readOnly</h3>
<p>This property holds whether the line edit is read only.
<p>In read-only mode, the user can still copy the text to the
clipboard or drag-and-drop the text (if <a href="#echoMode">echoMode</a>() is <a href="#EchoMode-enum">Normal</a>),
but cannot edit it.
<p> QLineEdit does not show a cursor in read-only mode.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qwidget.html#enabled-prop">enabled</a>.
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setReadOnly">setReadOnly</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#isReadOnly">isReadOnly</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="redoAvailable-prop"></a>redoAvailable</h3>
<p>This property holds whether redo is available.
<p>
<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#isRedoAvailable">isRedoAvailable</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="selectedText-prop"></a>selectedText</h3>
<p>This property holds the selected text.
<p>If there is no selected text this property's value is
<a href="qstring.html#QString-null">QString::null</a>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#hasSelectedText-prop">hasSelectedText</a>.
<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#selectedText">selectedText</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qstring.html">QString</a> <a name="text-prop"></a>text</h3>
<p>This property holds the line edit's text.
<p>Note that setting this property clears the selection, clears the
undo/redo history, moves the cursor to the end of the line and
resets the <a href="#modified-prop">modified</a> property to FALSE. The text is not
validated when inserted with <a href="#setText">setText</a>().
<p> The text is truncated to <a href="#maxLength">maxLength</a>() length.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#insert">insert</a>().
<p>Set this property's value with <a href="#setText">setText</a>() and get this property's value with <a href="#text">text</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="undoAvailable-prop"></a>undoAvailable</h3>
<p>This property holds whether undo is available.
<p>
<p>Get this property's value with <a href="#isUndoAvailable">isUndoAvailable</a>().
