Detailed Description

A module containing all default edit and group widgets.

This module is basically a collection of edit and group widgets. These widgets are organized into groups and can be added as global defaults to the engine, with the statuc VariantWidgetsRegistrator class.

Extended Types

The Variant-Widgets define three special types. These are mainly there to be used as types for special edit widgets. Each of those three types can be implicitly converted to it's base class and can be created from it's base. The types are:

• FilePath -> uses a path edit (instead of a lineedit)
• IntRange -> uses a slider (instead of a spinner)
• HtmlText -> uses a rich text edit (instead of a lineedit) Check VariantWidgetsRegistrator::registerExtendedVariantWidgets for details on how to use them
