Retrieving information from QLineEdit as soon as there is input?

Question

I have the following PyQT code:

self.datestartbox = QLineEdit(self) # Create a textbox
self.dateendbox = QLineEdit(self) # Create a textbox

How can I get the user input as soon there is text in the fields? At the moment I can only get it when user clicks a button and then use

self.datestartbox.text()

Cheers!

Answer 1

To do that you have to use:

self.datestartbox.textChanged.connect(function_to_call_when_text_change)
