<span class="subtitle"></span>
<!-- $$$qtquickcontrols2-differences.html-description -->
<div class="descr"> <a name="details"></a>
<p>Qt Quick Controls were originally developed to support desktop platforms, with mobile and embedded support coming shortly afterwards. They have a very broad scope, in that they provide a styling system flexible enough to allow the development of applications that have either a platform-dependent or platform-independent style.</p>
<p>On embedded systems, where the hardware has limited resources, this approach can be inefficient. Qt Quick Controls 2 were designed to solve this problem, using <a href="https://blog.qt.io/blog/2015/03/31/qt-quick-controls-for-embedded/">benchmarks</a> to guide the development.</p>
<a name="c-and-qml"></a>
<h3 >C++ and QML</h3>
<p>In many cases, the internal state of a control can be more efficiently processed in C++. For example, handling input events in C++ makes a difference for controls that would otherwise need to create internal MouseAreas and attached Keys objects.</p>
<a name="styles"></a>
<h3 >Styles</h3>
<p>Not only does handling events and logic in C++ increase performance, but it allows the visual QML layer to be a simple, declarative layer on top. This is reflected in the structure of the controls project: all visual implementations sit in the <i>imports</i> folder, so that users who want to create their own complete style can copy the folder and start tweaking. Read more about implementing a style plugin <a href="qtquickcontrols2-customize.html#creating-a-custom-style">here</a>.</p>
<p>In Qt Quick Controls 2, styles no longer provide components that are dynamically instantiated by controls, but controls themselves consist of item delegates that can be replaced. In effect, this means that delegates are Qt Quick items that are instantiated on the spot, as properties of the control, and are simply parented to the control.</p>
<a name="modularity-and-simplicity"></a>
<h3 >Modularity and Simplicity</h3>
<p>When it comes to more complex controls, it is sometimes better to split them up into separate building blocks. As an example, the complex <a href="qml-qtquick-controls2-scrollview.html">ScrollView</a> control:</p>
<pre class="qml">

  <span class="type"><a href="qml-qtquick-controls2-scrollview.html">ScrollView</a></span> {
      <span class="name">horizontalScrollBarPolicy</span>: <span class="name">Qt</span>.<span class="name">ScrollBarAlwaysOff</span>
      <span class="type"><a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-flickable.html">Flickable</a></span> {
          <span class="comment">// ...</span>
      }
  }

</pre>
<p>Is replaced with simple <a href="qml-qtquick-controls2-scrollbar.html">ScrollBar</a>/<a href="qml-qtquick-controls2-scrollindicator.html">ScrollIndicator</a> controls that can be attached to any Flickable:</p>
<pre class="qml">

  <span class="type"><a href="../qtquick/qml-qtquick-flickable.html">Flickable</a></span> {
      <span class="comment">// ...</span>
      <span class="name">ScrollBar</span>.vertical: <span class="name">ScrollBar</span> { }
  }

</pre>
<p>The API of Qt Quick Controls 2 aims to be clean and simple. Common operations are easy, and more advanced ones are liberally documented with snippets that can be copied into your code.</p>

<a name="porting-qt-quick-controls-code"></a>
<h3 >Porting Qt Quick Controls Code</h3>
<p>The API of Qt Quick Controls 2 is very similar to Qt Quick Controls, but it does come with some changes necessary to facilitate the improvements. The majority of changes are to do with styling; all of a control's delegates are now accessible in the control itself, instead of in a separate style object.</p>
<p>For example, to style a button in Qt Quick Controls:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">

  Button {
      style: ButtonStyle {
          label: Label {
              // ..&#x2e;
          }
      }
  }

</pre>
<p>To style a button in Qt Quick Controls 2:</p>
<pre class="qml">

  <span class="type"><a href="qml-qtquick-controls2-button.html">Button</a></span> {
      <span class="name">contentItem</span>: <span class="name">Label</span> {
          <span class="comment">// ...</span>
      }
  }

</pre>
<a name="preparing-for-migration"></a>
<h4 >Preparing for Migration</h4>
<p>With this in mind, a good way to prepare for a migration to Qt Quick Controls 2 is to place each control that you have a custom style for in its own QML file. For example, the Qt Quick Controls button above could be moved to a file named <code>Button.qml</code> in a directory named <code>controls</code>, and used in the following manner:</p>
<pre class="cpp plain">

  import &quot;controls&quot; as Controls

  Controls.Button {
      ..&#x2e;
  }

</pre>
<p>This works with both modules, and will reduce the amount of work needed when the migration begins.</p>
<a name="type-comparison-table"></a>
<h3 >Type Comparison Table</h3>
<p>The first column lists all types available in Qt Quick Controls 1, Qt Quick Dialogs, and Qt Quick Extras. The second column documents the respective type in Qt Quick Controls 2. When a direct alternative is not available, the third column contains an alternative that provides related functionality. The last column contains some remarks about the differences between the types in the different modules.</p>
