Here is a small Example: http://www.java2s.com/Code/Cpp/Qt/QD...dQLineEdit.htm

Use QdoubleValidator.

Or this and this.

I was already saw this program.but doesn't work it.QDoubleValidator consider for decimal point only not ranges(18.5 to 39.0).how i set the validation for this LineEdit.

QDoubleValidator checks the ranges. As documented, the line edit will not emit QLineEdit::editingFinished() or returnPressed() for invalid (in this case out-of-range) values. At any time QLineEdit::hasAcceptableInput() will return the current acceptability of the value. The validator does not stop you moving focus from the line edit with an intermediate value.

Since you clearly will not believe us, run this program and try 18.4, 18.6, 39.0 and 40 followed by Tab or Return in the top edit box and watch the output.

    Widget(): QWidget() {
        line1 = new QLineEdit(this);
        QDoubleValidator *v = new QDoubleValidator(18.5, 39.0, 1, line1);
        v->setNotation(QDoubleValidator::StandardNotation);
        line1->setValidator(v);
 
        QDoubleSpinBox *spin = new QDoubleSpinBox(this);
        spin->setDecimals(1);
        spin->setMinimum(18.0);
        spin->setMaximum(39.0);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

What you really want is a QDoubleSpinBox which is more restrictive, just as easily edited, and always has a valid value.

Thank u very much.
