I came about some more questions. I just had a short look into the code, so please excuse me, if I misunderstood something.

It seem that there are no sub classes for check buttons, switch buttons and check boxes. Instead this is all DuiButton.

Creating a normal button is as easy as:

Code:

DuiButton* pushButton = new DuiButton("Push Button");

But creating a check box I have to do:

Code:

DuiButton* checkbox = new DuiButton();
checkbox->setViewType(DuiButton::checkboxType);
checkbox->setCheckable(true);

Isn't setViewType(DuiButton::checkboxType) and setCheckable(true) somehow redundant?

Then to set a label for a check box, it looks like I have to do something like this:

Code:

checkboxLabel = new DuiLabel();
checkboxLabel->setText("Text");
QGraphicsLinearLayout *l = new QGraphicsLinearLayout(Qt::Horizontal);
l->addItem(checkbox);
l->addItem(checkboxLabel);
l->setAlignment(checkbox, Qt::AlignCenter);
l->setAlignment(checkboxLabel, Qt::AlignCenter);
containerPolicy->addItem(l);

I would rather expect to do simply

Code:

checkbox = new DuiButton("Text");
checkbox->setCheckable(true);

or even only

Code:

checkbox = new DuiCheckBox("Text");

Is the API to do this just not ready yet, or will it stay like this? Or did I simply miss something obvious? The code which I'm quoting is taken from the widget gallery.

Anyways, I would be happy to get some enlightenment
