    \brief Provides a set of UI controls for Qt Quick.

    Qt Quick Controls provides a set of controls that can be used
    to build complete interfaces in Qt Quick. The module was introduced
    in Qt 5.7.

    \section2 Building From Source

    The \b{Qt Image Formats} module is recommended, but not
    required. It provides support for the \c {.webp} format used by the
    \l {Animated Images}{Imagine style}.

    \section1 Versions

    Qt Quick Controls 2.0 was introduced in Qt 5.7. Subsequent minor Qt releases
    increment the import version of the Qt Quick Controls modules by one,
    until Qt 5.12, where the import versions match Qt's minor version.

    In Qt 6, both the major and minor versions match, and version numbers may
    be omitted from imports in QML. If the version is omitted, the latest
    version will be used.

    The experimental Qt Labs modules use import version 1.0.

    \section2 Revisions

    Due to how Qt Quick Controls are implemented, new properties that are added
    may clash with any user-defined properties of the same name. For example,
    the following snippet will result in an error:

    \qml
    import QtQuick.Controls 2.13

    ApplicationWindow {
        // ...

        ComboBox {
            anchors.centerIn: parent

            // As currentValue was added in 2.14, the versioned import above
            // should cause this property to be used, but instead an error is produced:
            // "Cannot override FINAL property"
            property int currentValue: 0
        }
    }
    \endqml

    These properties should be renamed to avoid the conflict.

    \section1 Module Evolution

    Qt Quick Controls was originally written with touch interfaces as the
    primary focus.
    While it is already possible to develop desktop interfaces, work is ongoing
    to provide a more native look and feel.

    \l{Changes to Qt Quick Controls} lists important changes in the
    module API and functionality that were done for the Qt 6 series of Qt.
