Thanks for the hint. I got much farther and deeper into QStyle, QStyleOption and QCommonStyle and how the painting is proceeding from there. I think this probably is not the route I can take as there is a lot there that I would have to reimplement in code that I would have to generate. I'll take another stab at starting with a QWidget and going from there. THanks for the nudge.
