# QClearLineEdit
A version of QLineEdit that better handles the 'clear' action.
The Qt QLineEdit can have a 'clear' button in the text field. This is enabled
with this function :
```
QLineEdit::setClearButtonEnabled(bool enable)
```
Clicking on this button clears the text field. *However*, it doesn't emit any signal.
You must programatically check the text field. :^(
QClearLineEdit is an extension of QLineEdit. It adds a way for the 'clear'
button to emit the 'returnPressed' signal.
```
// Create the LineEdit
QClearLineEdit* lineEdit = new QClearLineEdit(parent);
// Enable the new signal
lineEdit->enableReturnPressedOnClear();
// Connect the signal to our method
QObject::connect(lineEdit, &QLineEdit::returnPressed, this, MyClass::handleReturnPressed);
```
## To use:
Copy QClearLineEdit.h and QClearLineEdit.cpp to your project. Where ever you use QLineEdit, you can use
QClearLineEdit. Enable the new signal by calling:
```
lineEdit->enableReturnPressedOnClear();
```
QClearLineEdit can be used in 'Designer' by promoting 'QClearLineEdit' from 'QLineEdit'.
