Detailed Description

A QValidator to (dis)allow certain strings.

This validator allows you to accept only certain or to accept all but certain strings.

When used in rejecting mode, accepts only strings not in the stringlist. This mode is the default and comes in handy when asking the user for a name of some listed entity. Set the list of already used names to prevent the user from entering duplicate names.

When used in non-rejecting mode, accepts only strings that appear in the stringlist. Use with care! From a user's point of view this mode is hard to grasp.

This validator can also fix strings. In rejecting mode, a number will be appended to the string until it is Acceptable. E.g. if "foo" and "foo 1" are in the stringlist, then fixup will change "foo" to "foo 2", provided "foo 2" isn't in the list of forbidden strings.

In accepting mode, when the input starts with an Acceptable substring, truncates to the longest Acceptable string. When the input is the start of an Acceptable string, completes to the shortest Acceptable string.

NOTE: fixup isn't yet implemented.
