<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The Q3EditorFactory class is used to create editor widgets for <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> data types.</p>
<p>Each editor factory provides the <a href="q3editorfactory.html#createEditor">createEditor</a>() function which given a <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a> will create and return a <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> that can edit that <a href="qvariant.html">QVariant</a>. For example if you have a <a href="qvariant.html#Type-enum">QVariant::String</a> type, a <a href="qlineedit.html">QLineEdit</a> would be the default editor returned, whereas a <a href="qvariant.html#Type-enum">QVariant::Int</a>'s default editor would be a <a href="qspinbox.html">QSpinBox</a>.</p>
<p>If you want to create different editors for fields with the same data type, subclass Q3EditorFactory and reimplement the <a href="q3editorfactory.html#createEditor">createEditor</a>() function.</p>
