| 11 | \brief The QStylePlugin class provides an abstract base for custom QStyle plugins. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | \ingroup plugins |
| 14 | \inmodule QtWidgets |
| 15 | |
| 16 | QStylePlugin is a simple plugin interface that makes it easy |
| 17 | to create custom styles that can be loaded dynamically into |
| 18 | applications using the QStyleFactory class. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | Writing a style plugin is achieved by subclassing this base class, |
| 21 | reimplementing the pure virtual create() function, and |
| 22 | exporting the class using the Q_PLUGIN_METADATA() macro. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | \snippet qstyleplugin/main.cpp 0 |
| 25 | |
| 26 | The json metadata file \c mystyleplugin.json for the plugin needs |
| 27 | to contain information about the names of the styles the plugins |
| 28 | supports as follows: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | \quotefile qstyleplugin/mystyleplugin.json |
| 31 | |
| 32 | See \l {How to Create Qt Plugins} for details. |

| 39 | |
| 40 | Creates and returns a QStyle object for the given style \a key. |
| 41 | If a plugin cannot create a style, it should return 0 instead. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | The style key is usually the class name of the required |
| 44 | style. Note that the keys are case insensitive. For example: |
