I've already seen that the new functional equivalent is drawPrimitive witrh a PE_ArrowDown flag. The problem is that I do not see how to translate the parameters used in the old function to the QRect parameter that is required in the new function. Sinve there is no one-to-one correspondance in parameters I do not see how to move form the old function to the new. The purpose of this method is to pain t a combobox-like down arrow to the right of a QLineEdit widget that is contained in the class. How do I convert the old code to the new?
