<div class="textblock"><p>A widget that provides a single line edit. </p>
<p>To act upon text changes, connect a slot to the <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WFormWidget.html#a5216ba1594b5dc525cc47cad593c7ba8" title="Signal emitted when the value was changed.">changed()</a> signal. This signal is emitted when the user changed the content, and subsequently removes the focus from the line edit.</p>
<p>To act upon editing, connect a slot to the <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WInteractWidget.html#a7602bfbe38090d4acca674afc02f15c8" title="Event signal emitted when a keyboard key is released.">keyWentUp()</a> signal because the <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WInteractWidget.html#a6d4c957a92eb6ffec59a638dd384c6c9" title="Event signal emitted when a "character" was entered.">keyPressed()</a> signal is fired before the line edit has interpreted the keypress to change its text.</p>
<p>At all times, the current content may be accessed with the <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WLineEdit.html#ac74b58779cb635898cac13e81d8b0c7a" title="Returns the current content.">text()</a> method.</p>
<p>You may specify a maximum length for the input using <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WLineEdit.html#aaeca334d8a47be029b6a44912b01ed5d" title="Specifies the maximum length of text that can be entered.">setMaxLength()</a>. If you wish to provide more detailed input validation, you may set a validator using the <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WFormWidget.html#aa773d16013d6959149ce5081e84b259c" title="Sets a validator for this field.">setValidator(WValidator *)</a> method.

<p>Returns the widget's built-in border width. </p>
<p>This is used by the layout managers to correct for a built-in border which interferes with setting a widget's width (or height) to 100%.</p>
<p>A layout manager needs to set the width to 100% only for form widgets (<a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WTextArea.html" title="A widget that provides a multi-line edit.">WTextArea</a>, <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WLineEdit.html" title="A widget that provides a single line edit.">WLineEdit</a>, <a class="el" href="classWt_1_1WComboBox.html" title="A widget that provides a drop-down combo-box control.">WComboBox</a>, etc...). Therefore, only for those widgets this needs to return the border width (the default implementation returns 0).</p>
<p>For form widgets, the border width depends on the specific browser/platform combination, unless an explicit border is set for the widget.</p>
<p>When setting an explicit border for the widget using a style class, you will want to reimplement this method to return this border width, in case you want to set the widget inside a layout manager.</p>
