/**
    Validator for text entries used for integer entry.

    This validator can be used with wxTextCtrl or wxComboBox (and potentially
    any other class implementing wxTextEntry interface) to check that only
    valid integer values can be entered into them.

    This is a template class which can be instantiated for all the integer types
    (i.e. @c short, @c int, @c long and <code>long long</code> if available) as
    well as their unsigned versions.

    By default this validator accepts any integer values in the range
    appropriate for its type, e.g. <code>INT_MIN..INT_MAX</code> for @c int or
    <code>0..USHRT_MAX</code> for <code>unsigned short</code>. This range can
    be restricted further by calling SetMin() and SetMax() or SetRange()
    methods inherited from the base class.

    When the validator displays integers with thousands separators, the
    character used for the separators (usually "." or ",") depends on the locale
    set with wxLocale (note that you shouldn't change locale with setlocale()
    as this can result in a mismatch between the thousands separator used by
    wxLocale and the one used by the run-time library).

    A simple example of using this class:
    @code
        class MyDialog : public wxDialog
        {
        public:
            MyDialog()
            {
                ...
                // Allow positive integers and display them with thousands
                // separators.
                wxIntegerValidator<unsigned long>
                    val(&m_value, wxNUM_VAL_THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR);

                // If the variable were of type "long" and not "unsigned long"
                // we would have needed to call val.SetMin(0) but as it is,
                // this is not needed.

                // Associate it with the text control:
                new wxTextCtrl(this, ..., val);
            }

        private:
            unsigned long m_value;
        };

/**
    Validator for text entries used for floating point numbers entry.

    This validator can be used with wxTextCtrl or wxComboBox (and potentially
    any other class implementing wxTextEntry interface) to check that only
    valid floating point values can be entered into them. Currently only fixed
    format is supported on input, i.e. scientific format with mantissa and
    exponent is not supported.

    This template class can be instantiated for either @c float or @c double,
    <code>long double</code> values are not currently supported.

    Similarly to wxIntegerValidator<>, the range for the accepted values is by
    default set appropriately for the type. Additionally, this validator allows
    to specify the maximum number of digits that can be entered after the
    decimal separator. By default this is also set appropriately for the type
    used, e.g. 6 for @c float and 15 for @c double on a typical IEEE-754-based
    implementation. As with the range, the precision can be restricted after
    the validator creation if necessary.

    When the validator displays numbers with decimal or thousands separators,
    the characters used for the separators (usually "." or ",") depend on the
    locale set with wxLocale (note that you shouldn't change locale with
    setlocale() as this can result in a mismatch between the separators used by
    wxLocale and the one used by the run-time library).

                ...
                // Allow floating point numbers from 0 to 100 with 2 decimal
                // digits only and handle empty string as 0 by default.
                wxFloatingPointValidator<float>
                    val(2, &m_value, wxNUM_VAL_ZERO_AS_BLANK);
