Set string to QDoubleSpinBox

Question

Regarding some task I must do the following. Consider I have a QDoubleSpinBox with positive values from 0 to 1000. And every time when user tries to lower the value of spinbox, f.e. to click the down button when value is 0, the value of spinbox must be string "unset". I tried to do this, to clear the value of spinbox and then setPrefix. But it did not worked. Any other solutions?

Answer 1

You can try specialValueText.

This is a example:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QDoubleSpinBox>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QDoubleSpinBox doubleSpinBox;
    doubleSpinBox.setRange(0.f, 1000.f);
    doubleSpinBox.setValue(1.f);
    doubleSpinBox.setSpecialValueText("unset");

    doubleSpinBox.show();
    return a.exec();
}

when value is 0, the value of spinbox must be string "unset".
