    Default Retrieving and converting values

    Say I've got a QLineEdit and I need to retrieve the text, then convert it to a float for processing. How would I do that? The ways I've been trying so far always end up throwing compilation errors.

    So would that be something like:

    double d = myLineEditName->text()->toDouble();

    It's the syntax that I'm not getting.

    try breaking the operation sequence into series of steps...syntax evolves itself!

    cheers!
