Maximum value of QSlider?

Question

What is the maximum value of QSlider, in the datasheet, it is just mentioned as int.

I tried with "1000000". but the Slider starts bugging.

QSlider.setMaximum(1000000);

---

Image with the bug, the blue color and the cursor don't move well at same speed, if the number is at max : 999999999, the cursor don't move at all.

when I put : max at : 650000 that works very well. That is perhaps an OS problem, I am using IOS..

By the way, here is an update of code, works fine with 100000 x 2 possible values:

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
import sys

MAXVAL = 650000

class RangeSliderClass(QtWidgets.QWidget):

    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

        self.minTime = 0
        self.maxTime = 0
        self.minRangeTime = 0
        self.maxRangeTime = 0
        self.middleTime = self.getMiddleTime()
        self.halfTimeInterval = self.middleTime - self.minTime

        self.sliderMin = MAXVAL
        self.sliderMax = MAXVAL

Answer 1

You can set QSlider maximum value with 9 digits.

QSlider.setMaximum(999999999);

Answer 2

The answer of @aghilpro is not incorrect on Qt Designer the limit is 999999999 (9 digits)

But QSlider inherits QAbstractSlider and on definition of properties we have:

...
Q_PROPERTY(int minimum READ minimum WRITE setMinimum)
Q_PROPERTY(int maximum READ maximum WRITE setMaximum)
...

Then the max int value is 2,147,483,647 (10 digits) then 9999999999 overflow that value;
