<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QStyleHintReturn class provides style hints that return more than basic data types.</p>
<p>QStyleHintReturn and its subclasses are used to pass information from a style back to the querying widget. This is most useful when the return value from <a href="qstyle.html#styleHint">QStyle::styleHint</a>() does not provide enough detail; for example, when a mask is to be returned.</p>
<hr />

<p><table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="100%">

</table></p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="StyleOptionType-enum"></a>enum QStyleHintReturn::StyleOptionType</h3>
<p>This enum is used to hold information about the type of the style option, and is defined for each <a href="qstylehintreturn.html">QStyleHintReturn</a> subclass.</p>
<p><table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tr><th width="25%">Constant</th><th width="15%">Value</th><th width="60%">Description</th></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"><tt>QStyleHintReturn::Type</tt></td><td align="center" valign="top"><tt>SH_Default</tt></td><td valign="top">The type of style option provided (<a href="qstylehintreturn.html#HintReturnType-enum">SH_Default</a> for this class).</td></tr>
</table></p>
<p>The type is used internally by <a href="qstylehintreturn.html">QStyleHintReturn</a>, its subclasses, and <a href="qstyleoption.html#qstyleoption_cast">qstyleoption_cast</a>() to determine the type of style option. In general you do not need to worry about this unless you want to create your own <a href="qstylehintreturn.html">QStyleHintReturn</a> subclass and your own styles.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qstylehintreturn.html#StyleOptionVersion-enum">StyleOptionVersion</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="StyleOptionVersion-enum"></a>enum QStyleHintReturn::StyleOptionVersion</h3>
<p>This enum is used to hold information about the version of the style option, and is defined for each <a href="qstylehintreturn.html">QStyleHintReturn</a> subclass.</p>
<p><table border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="100%">
<tr><th width="25%">Constant</th><th width="15%">Value</th><th width="60%">Description</th></tr>
<tr><td valign="top"><tt>QStyleHintReturn::Version</tt></td><td align="center" valign="top"><tt>1</tt></td><td valign="top">1</td></tr>
</table></p>
<p>The version is used by <a href="qstylehintreturn.html">QStyleHintReturn</a> subclasses to implement extensions without breaking compatibility. If you use <a href="qstyleoption.html#qstyleoption_cast">qstyleoption_cast</a>(), you normally don't need to check it.</p>

<h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="QStyleHintReturn"></a>QStyleHintReturn::QStyleHintReturn ( int <i>version</i> = QStyleOption::Version, int <i>type</i> = SH_Default )</h3>
<p>Constructs a <a href="qstylehintreturn.html">QStyleHintReturn</a> with version <i>version</i> and type <i>type</i>.</p>
<p>The version has no special meaning for <a href="qstylehintreturn.html">QStyleHintReturn</a>; it can be used by subclasses to distinguish between different version of the same hint type.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qstyleoption.html#version-var">QStyleOption::version</a> and <a href="qstyleoption.html#type-varx">QStyleOption::type</a>.</p>

<h2>Member Variable Documentation</h2>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="type-varx"></a>int QStyleHintReturn::type</h3>
<p>This variable holds the type of the style hint container.</p>
<p>See also <a href="qstylehintreturn.html#HintReturnType-enum">HintReturnType</a>.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="version-var"></a>int QStyleHintReturn::version</h3>
<p>This variable holds the version of the style hint return container.</p>
<p>This value can be used by subclasses to implement extensions without breaking compatibility. If you use qstyleoption_cast<T>(), you normally don't need to check it.</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="qstyleoption_cast-2"></a>T qstyleoption_cast ( const QStyleHintReturn * <i>hint</i> )</h3>
<p>This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience.</p>
<p>Returns a T or 0 depending on the <a href="qstylehintreturn.html#type-varx">type</a> and <a href="qstylehintreturn.html#version-var">version</a> of <i>hint</i>.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre> int MyStyle::styleHint(StyleHint stylehint, const QStyleOption *opt,
const QWidget *widget, QStyleHintReturn* returnData) const;
{
if (stylehint == SH_RubberBand_Mask) {
const QStyleHintReturnMask *maskReturn =
