For example, without this style a wxFloatingPointValidator with a precision 3 will show the value of 1.5 as "1.500" after validation.

This validator can be used with wxTextCtrl or wxComboBox (and potentially any other class implementing wxTextEntry interface) to check that only valid integer values can be entered into them. This is a template class which can be instantiated for all the integer types (i.e. @c short, @c int, @c long and long long if available) as well as their unsigned versions. By default this validator accepts any integer values in the range appropriate for its type, e.g. INT_MIN..INT_MAX for @c int or 0..USHRT_MAX for unsigned short. This range can be restricted further by calling SetMin() and SetMax() or SetRange() methods inherited from the base class. When the validator displays integers with thousands separators, the character used for the separators (usually "." or ",") depends on the locale set with wxLocale (note that you shouldn't change locale with setlocale() as this can result in a mismatch between the thousands separator used by wxLocale and the one used by the run-time library). A simple example of using this class: @code class MyDialog : public wxDialog { public: MyDialog() { ... // Allow positive integers and display them with thousands // separators. wxIntegerValidator val(&m_value, wxNUM_VAL_THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR); // If the variable were of type "long" and not "unsigned long" // we would have needed to call val.SetMin(0) but as it is, // this is not needed. // Associate it with the text control: new wxTextCtrl(this, ..., val); } private: unsigned long m_value; }; @endcode For more information, please see @ref overview_validator. @library{wxcore} @category{validator} @see @ref overview_validator, wxValidator, wxGenericValidator, wxTextValidator, wxMakeIntegerValidator() @since 2.9.2 */ template class wxIntegerValidator : public wxNumValidator { public: /// Type of the values this validator is used with. typedef T ValueType; /** Validator constructor. @param value A pointer to the variable associated with the validator.

This validator can be used with wxTextCtrl or wxComboBox (and potentially any other class implementing wxTextEntry interface) to check that only valid floating point values can be entered into them. Currently only fixed format is supported on input, i.e. scientific format with mantissa and exponent is not supported. This template class can be instantiated for either @c float or @c double, long double values are not currently supported. Similarly to wxIntegerValidator<>, the range for the accepted values is by default set appropriately for the type. Additionally, this validator allows to specify the maximum number of digits that can be entered after the decimal separator. By default this is also set appropriately for the type used, e.g. 6 for @c float and 15 for @c double on a typical IEEE-754-based implementation. As with the range, the precision can be restricted after the validator creation if necessary. When the validator displays numbers with decimal or thousands separators, the characters used for the separators (usually "." or ",") depend on the locale set with wxLocale (note that you shouldn't change locale with setlocale() as this can result in a mismatch between the separators used by wxLocale and the one used by the run-time library).
