QStyle::SubElement customSubElement (const QString &element, const QWidget *widget)
 

Detailed Description

Runtime style extensions You can use this to have a supporting QStyle implementation paint your widget This is just convenience and does /not/ require the using widgets style to inherit KStyle (i.e.

calling this while using cleanlooks won't segfault but just return "0")

For simplicity, only StyleHints, ControlElements and their SubElements are supported If you don't need extended SubElement functionality, just skip its usage

The element string has to be of the form: "appname.(2-char-element-type)_element" The 2-char-element-type is the corresponding {SH, CE, SE} Widgets in KWidgetsAddons don't have to pass the appname

Examples: "CE_CapacityBar", "amarok.CE_Analyzer"

Important notes: 1) If your string lacks the matching "SH_", "CE_" or "SE_" token the element request will be ignored (return is 0) 2) Try to avoid custom elements and use default ones (if possible) to get better style support and keep UI coherency 3) If you cache this value (good idea, this requires a map lookup) do not forget to catch style changes in QWidget::changeEvent()!
