<p>My preference is to only use a spinbox for entries with less than 100 possible values. I believe that the up/down arrows give the impression that clicking on them is the "proper" method of selecting a value and while some people know that you can type in a value into a spinbox, I believe that there are others who do not and I really don't want users to be metaphorically cursing my name when they are trying to click their way up to a port number of say, 23517. Also, using a simple LineEdit with color coding for indicating an unacceptable input is consistent with the rest of the interface.</p></div>
</blockquote>
<p>In that case you can use <a href="https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlineedit.html#inputMask-prop" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qlineedit.html#inputMask-prop</a> to limit what users can type there. You can also assign validators to other lineedits so users will be able to type only correct values.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R116 Plasma Network Management Applet</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D19434">https://phabricator.kde.org/D19434</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>andersonbruce, jgrulich<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>ngraham, plasma-devel, jraleigh, GB_2, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, abetts, sebas, apol, mart<br /></div>
