<p>Notice that the value <tt>999</tt> returns Intermediate. Values
consisting of a number of digits equal to or less than the max
value are considered intermediate. This is intended because the
digit that prevents a number to be in range is not necessarily the
last digit typed. This also means that an intermediate number can
have leading zeros.</p>
<p>The minimum and maximum values are set in one call with <a href="qintvalidator.html#setRange">setRange</a>(), or individually with
<a href="qintvalidator.html#bottom-prop">setBottom</a>() and
<a href="qintvalidator.html#top-prop">setTop</a>().</p>
<p>QIntValidator uses its <a href="qvalidator.html#locale">locale</a>() to interpret the number. For
example, in Arabic locales, QIntValidator will accept Arabic
digits. In addition, QIntValidator is always guaranteed to accept a
number formatted according to the "C" locale.</p>

<p>Returns <a href="qvalidator.html#State-enum">Acceptable</a> if
the <i>input</i> is an integer within the valid range, <a href="qvalidator.html#State-enum">Intermediate</a> if the <i>input</i>
is a prefix of an integer in the valid range, and <a href="qvalidator.html#State-enum">Invalid</a> otherwise.</p>
<p>If the valid range consists of just positive integers (e.g., 32
to 100) and <i>input</i> is a negative integer, then Invalid is
returned. (On the other hand, if the range consists of negative
integers (e.g., -100 to -32) and <i>input</i> is a positive
integer, then Intermediate is returned, because the user might be
just about to type the minus (especially for right-to-left
languages).</p>
