    \class TQValidator
    \brief The TQValidator class provides validation of input text.

    \ingroup misc
    \mainclass

    The class itself is abstract. Two subclasses, \l TQIntValidator and
    \l TQDoubleValidator, provide basic numeric-range checking, and \l
    TQRegExpValidator provides general checking using a custom regular
    expression.

    If the built-in validators aren't sufficient, you can subclass
    TQValidator. The class has two virtual functions: validate() and
    fixup().

    \l validate() must be implemented by every subclass. It returns
    \c Invalid, \c Intermediate or \c Acceptable depending on whether
    its argument is valid (for the subclass's definition of valid).

    These three states require some explanation. An \c Invalid string
    is \e clearly invalid. \c Intermediate is less obvious: the
    concept of validity is slippery when the string is incomplete
    (still being edited). TQValidator defines \c Intermediate as the
    property of a string that is neither clearly invalid nor
    acceptable as a final result. \c Acceptable means that the string
    is acceptable as a final result. One might say that any string
    that is a plausible intermediate state during entry of an \c
    Acceptable string is \c Intermediate.

    Here are some examples:

    \list

    \i For a line edit that accepts integers from 0 to 999 inclusive,
    42 and 123 are \c Acceptable, the empty string and 1114 are \c
    Intermediate and asdf is \c Invalid.

    \i For an editable combobox that accepts URLs, any well-formed URL
    is \c Acceptable, "http://www.trolltech.com/," is \c Intermediate
    (it might be a cut and paste operation that accidentally took in a
    comma at the end), the empty string is \c Intermediate (the user
    might select and delete all of the text in preparation for entering
    a new URL), and "http:///./" is \c Invalid.

    \i For a spin box that accepts lengths, "11cm" and "1in" are \c
    Acceptable, "11" and the empty string are \c Intermediate and
    "http://www.trolltech.com" and "hour" are \c Invalid.

    \endlist

    \l fixup() is provided for validators that can repair some user
    errors. The default implementation does nothing. TQLineEdit, for
    example, will call fixup() if the user presses Enter (or Return)
    and the content is not currently valid. This allows the fixup()
    function the opportunity of performing some magic to make an \c
    Invalid string \c Acceptable.

    TQValidator is typically used with TQLineEdit, TQSpinBox and
    TQComboBox.
*/


/*!
    \enum TQValidator::State

    This enum type defines the states in which a validated string can
    exist.

    \value Invalid  the string is \e clearly invalid.

    \value Intermediate  the string is a plausible intermediate value
    during editing.

    \value Acceptable  the string is acceptable as a final result,
    i.e. it is valid.
*/


/*!
    Sets up the validator. The \a parent and \a name parameters are
    passed on to the TQObject constructor.
*/

TQValidator::TQValidator( TQObject * parent, const char *name )
    : TQObject( parent, name )
{
}


/*!
    Destroys the validator, freeing any storage and other resources
    used.
*/

TQValidator::~TQValidator()
{
}


/*!
    \fn TQValidator::State TQValidator::validate( TQString& input, int& pos ) const

    This pure virtual function returns \c Invalid if \a input is
    invalid according to this validator's rules, \c Intermediate if it
    is likely that a little more editing will make the input
    acceptable (e.g. the user types '4' into a widget which accepts
    integers between 10 and 99) and \c Acceptable if the input is
    valid.

    The function can change \a input and \a pos (the cursor position)
    if it wants to.
*/


/*!
    \fn void TQValidator::fixup( TQString & input ) const

    This function attempts to change \a input to be valid according to
    this validator's rules. It need not result in a valid string:
    callers of this function must re-test afterwards; the default does
    nothing.

    Reimplementations of this function can change \a input even if
    they do not produce a valid string. For example, an ISBN validator
    might want to delete every character except digits and "-", even
    if the result is still not a valid ISBN; a surname validator might
    want to remove whitespace from the start and end of the string,
    even if the resulting string is not in the list of accepted
    surnames.
*/

/*!
    \class TQIntValidator
    \brief The TQIntValidator class provides a validator which ensures
    that a string contains a valid integer within a specified range.

    \ingroup misc

    Example of use:

    TQValidator* validator = new TQIntValidator( 100, 999, this );
    TQLineEdit* edit = new TQLineEdit( this );

    // the edit lineedit will only accept integers between 100 and 999
    edit->setValidator( validator );
    \endcode

    Below we present some examples of validators. In practice they would
    normally be associated with a widget as in the example above.

    \code
    TQString str;
    int pos = 0;
    TQIntValidator v( 100, 999, this );

    str = "1";
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Intermediate
    str = "12";
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Intermediate

    str = "123";
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Acceptable

    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Invalid
    str = "12cm";
    v.validate( str, pos );     // returns Invalid

/*!
    \class TQRegExpValidator
    \brief The TQRegExpValidator class is used to check a string
    against a regular expression.

    \ingroup misc

    TQRegExpValidator contains a regular expression, "regexp", used to
    determine whether an input string is \c Acceptable, \c
    Intermediate or \c Invalid.

    The regexp is treated as if it begins with the start of string
    assertion, <b>^</b>, and ends with the end of string assertion
    <b>$</b> so the match is against the entire input string, or from
    the given position if a start position greater than zero is given.

    For a brief introduction to TQt's regexp engine see \l TQRegExp.

    Example of use:
    \code
    // regexp: optional '-' followed by between 1 and 3 digits
    TQRegExp rx( "-?\\d{1,3}" );
    TQValidator* validator = new TQRegExpValidator( rx, this );

    TQLineEdit* edit = new TQLineEdit( this );
    edit->setValidator( validator );
    \endcode

    Below we present some examples of validators. In practice they would
    normally be associated with a widget as in the example above.

    \code
    // integers 1 to 9999
    TQRegExp rx( "[1-9]\\d{0,3}" );
    // the validator treats the regexp as "^[1-9]\\d{0,3}$"
    TQRegExpValidator v( rx, 0 );
    TQString s;
    int pos = 0;

    s = "0";     v.validate( s, pos );    // returns Invalid
    s = "12345"; v.validate( s, pos );    // returns Invalid
    s = "1";     v.validate( s, pos );    // returns Acceptable

    rx.setPattern( "\\S+" );            // one or more non-whitespace characters
    v.setRegExp( rx );
    s = "myfile.txt";  v.validate( s, pos ); // Returns Acceptable
    s = "my file.txt"; v.validate( s, pos ); // Returns Invalid

    // A, B or C followed by exactly five digits followed by W, X, Y or Z
    rx.setPattern( "[A-C]\\d{5}[W-Z]" );
    v.setRegExp( rx );
    s = "a12345Z"; v.validate( s, pos );	// Returns Invalid
    s = "A12345Z"; v.validate( s, pos );	// Returns Acceptable
