How do I get elements of a base widget?

[Nfrancisj]

probably "hand-drawn" in its paintEvent()

Diving deeper, I must confess I haven't reached the QGraphics chapter yet, is there anyway to explore Paint Elements? I assume paintEvents paint QGraphics Scene and Items, ya?

So a standard QPushButton is constructed using the QGraphics family of classes and it's painted using a paintEvent? Is there a way to dive down into that and see what constructs the QPushButton?


Thanks a lot, I really am learning a lot. 😁

Cheers!

Yes, it is drawn using a paintEvent() (as are all QWidget-based classes), but no, as far as I know it is drawn using platform-specific QStyle ControlElement and SubElement types because it is not based on QGraphicsItem.
