\nextpage Widget Classes
The primary elements for designing user interfaces in Qt are widgets and layouts.
\section1 Widgets
\l{Widget Classes}{Widgets} can display data and status information, receive
user input, and provide a container for other widgets that should be grouped
together. A widget that is not embedded in a parent widget is called a
\l{Application Windows and Dialogs}{window}.
\image parent-child-widgets.png A parent widget containing various child widgets.
The QWidget class provides the basic capability to render to the screen, and to
handle user input events. All UI elements that Qt provides are either subclasses
of QWidget, or are used in connection with a QWidget subclass. Creating custom
widgets is done by subclassing QWidget or a suitable subclass and reimplementing
the virtual event handlers.
\section1 Layouts
\l{Layout Management}{Layouts} are an elegant and flexible way to automatically
arrange child widgets within their container. Each widget reports its size requirements
to the layout through the \l{QWidget::}{sizeHint} and \l{QWidget::}{sizePolicy}
properties, and the layout distributes the available space accordingly.

\endtable
\l{Qt Designer Manual}{\QD} is a powerful tool for interactively creating and
arranging widgets in layouts.
\section1 Widget Styles
\l{Implementing Styles and Style Aware Widgets}{Styles} draw on behalf of widgets
and encapsulate the look and feel of a GUI. Qt's built-in widgets use the QStyle
class to perform nearly all of their drawing, ensuring that they look exactly like
the equivalent native widgets.

\l{Qt Style Sheets} are a powerful mechanism that allows you to customize the
appearance of widgets, in addition to what is already possible by subclassing QStyle.

Below you find a list of all widget classes in Qt. You can also browse the
widget classes Qt provides in the various supported styles in the
\l{Qt Widget Gallery}.

\section1 Basic Widgets
These basic widgets (controls), such as buttons, comboboxes and scroll bars, are
designed for direct use.

\section1 Advanced Widgets
Advanced GUI widgets such as tab widgets and progress bars provide more
complex user interface controls.

\section1 Organizer Widgets
Classes like splitters, tab bars, button groups, etc are used to
organize and group GUI primitives into more complex applications or
dialogs.

\section1 Abstract Widget Classes
Abstract widget classes usable through subclassing. They are generally
not usable in themselves, but provide functionality that can be used
by inheriting these classes.
