[Interest] Mixing QWidgets and QtQuickControls 2

[Harald Vistnes]

Benjamin, thanks for useful hints. I'll start with trying to integrate the
QQuickWidget into a QDialog as it sounds straightforward.

Concerning the QuickDialog approach. You implement your own class by
subclassing QQuickView and make it behave like a dialog? Do you use
QWidget::createWindowContainer() then or just exec() on the QuickDialog
directly?

Regards,
Harald
