    \title Qt Quick Controls

    \brief Provides a set of UI controls for Qt Quick.

    Qt Quick Controls provides a set of controls that can be used
    to build complete interfaces in Qt Quick. The module was introduced
    in Qt 5.7.

    Qt Quick Controls comes with a selection customizable styles.
    See \l {Styling Qt Quick Controls} for more details.


    \section1 Using the Module

    \section2 QML API

    The \l{Qt Quick Controls QML Types}{QML types} can be imported into your
    application using the following import statement in your \c {.qml} file:

    \qml
    import QtQuick.Controls
    \endqml

    \section2 C++ API

    Using the \l{Qt Quick Controls C++ Classes}{C++ API} requires linking against the module library,
    either directly or through other dependencies.
    Several build tools have dedicated support for this, including CMake and qmake.

    \section3 Building with CMake
    Use the \c find_package() command to locate the needed module components in the Qt6 package:

    \snippet qtquickcontrols2-overview.cmake 0

    See also the \l{Build with CMake} overview.

    \section3 Building with qmake
    To configure the module for building with qmake,
    add the module as a value of the QT variable in the project's .pro file:

    \code
    QT += quickcontrols2
    \endcode

    \section2 Building From Source

    The \b{Qt Image Formats} module is recommended, but not
    required. It provides support for the \c {.webp} format used by the
    \l {Animated Images}{Imagine style}.

    \section1 Versions

    Qt Quick Controls 2.0 was introduced in Qt 5.7. Subsequent minor Qt releases
    increment the import version of the Qt Quick Controls modules by one,
    until Qt 5.12, where the import versions match Qt's minor version.

    In Qt 6, both the major and minor versions match, and version numbers may
    be omitted from imports in QML. If the version is omitted, the latest
    version will be used.

    The experimental Qt Labs modules use import version 1.0.

    \section1 Module Evolution

    Qt Quick Controls was originally written with touch interfaces as the primary focus.
    While it is already possible to develop desktop interfaces, work is ongoing to
    provide a more native look and feel.

    \l{Changes to Qt Quick Controls} lists important changes in the
    module API and functionality that were done for the Qt 6 series of Qt.
