Class: QgsFilterLineEdit

class qgis.gui.QgsFilterLineEdit(parent: QWidget = None, nullValue: str = '')

Bases: PyQt5.QtWidgets.QLineEdit

Constructor for QgsFilterLineEdit.

Parameters:
  • parent – parent widget
  • nullValue – string for representing null values

QLineEdit subclass with built in support for clearing the widget’s value and handling custom null value representations.

When using QgsFilterLineEdit the value(), setValue() and clearValue() methods should be used instead of QLineEdit’s text(), setText() and clear() methods, and the valueChanged() signal should be used instead of textChanged(). *
