So basically your problem is: "How to chain together (combine) several 
Validators!"

E.g. you have one Validator which only accepts the characters 'a', 'b' and 'c' 
while at the same time - in certain text input fields - you also want to make 
sure that all characters are UPPER case.

Maybe you could reach that goal with inheritance: e.g. the base class would 
validate the acceptable characters, whereas the derived class would - after 
having called the parent's validation methods and once they pass in an 
acceptable state - then validate those characters.

Or (probably better) you could come up with a "ChainValidator" class where you 
could add any kind of QValidator, and the "ChainValidator" would simply call 
those validators in order, until they all pass or it would stop as soon as a 
QValidator would end up in an Invalid state (+ think about it what it means 
when you get an Intermediate state in the middle, or how to deal with "fixup" 
etc. - at a quick glance I do not see any conceptual obstackles here).

Off course certain combinations of Validators wouldn't make sense, e.g. 
chaining a QFloatValidator with a QIntValidator. How to solve/avoid that is 
left as an exercise for the reader ;)


Just an idea anyway...
