Detailed Description

../../_images/windows-lcdnumber.png

It can display a number in just about any size. It can display decimal, hexadecimal, octal or binary numbers. It is easy to connect to data sources using the display() slot, which is overloaded to take any of five argument types.

There are also slots to change the base with setMode() and the decimal point with setSmallDecimalPoint() .

QLCDNumber emits the overflow() signal when it is asked to display something beyond its range. The range is set by setDigitCount() , but setSmallDecimalPoint() also influences it. If the display is set to hexadecimal, octal or binary, the integer equivalent of the value is displayed.

These digits and other symbols can be shown: 0/O, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5/S, 6, 7, 8, 9/g, minus, decimal point, A, B, C, D, E, F, h, H, L, o, P, r, u, U, Y, colon, degree sign (which is specified as single quote in the string) and space. QLCDNumber substitutes spaces for illegal characters.

It is not possible to retrieve the contents of a QLCDNumber object, although you can retrieve the numeric value with value() . If you really need the text, we recommend that you connect the signals that feed the display() slot to another slot as well and store the value there.

Incidentally, QLCDNumber is the very oldest part of Qt, tracing its roots back to a BASIC program on the Sinclair Spectrum .
