Widget styles
The TQt Style API has undergone some important changes, so porting a widget style to TDE will entail a little more than just running scripts.
Keep the following changes in mind:
- Most functions' definitions have changed;
- The usage of the widget argument is deprecated in favor of specifying widget parameters via ceData and elementFlags;
- SH_UnderlineAccelerator has been extended with a new style hint, SH_HideUnderlineAcceleratorWhenAltUp.
Porting an existing style to the new API is relatively straightforward; simply update the function definitions in the existing style with the new definition prototypes and cast the passed pointer to TQWidget or TQObject where appropriate.
Warning!
The TQt API docs do not currently seem to reflect these changes.
