The DelegateChooser is a special \l Component type intended for those scenarios where a Component is required
by a view and used as a delegate.
DelegateChooser encapsulates a set of \l {DelegateChoice}s.

+ These choices are used to determine the delegate that will be instantiated for each
item in the model.
The selection of the choice is performed based on the value that a model item has for \l role,
and also based on index.
+ DelegateChooser is commonly used when a view needs to display a set of delegates that are significantly
+ different from each other. For example, a typical phone settings view might include toggle switches,
+ sliders, radio buttons, and other visualizations based on the type of each setting. In this case, DelegateChooser
+ could provide an easy way to associate a different type of delegate with each setting:

+ \qml \QtMinorVersion
+ import QtQuick 2.\1
+ import QtQuick.Controls 2.\1
+ import Qt.labs.qmlmodels 1.0
+
+ ListView {
+ width: 200; height: 400

+ ListModel {
+ id: listModel
+ ListElement { type: "info"; ... }
+ ListElement { type: "switch"; ... }
+ ListElement { type: "swipe"; ... }
+ ListElement { type: "switch"; ... }

+ DelegateChooser {
+ id: chooser
+ role: "type"

+ DelegateChoice { roleValue: "switch"; SwitchDelegate { ... } }
+ DelegateChoice { roleValue: "swipe"; SwipeDelegate { ... } }

\note This type is intended to transparently work only with TableView and any DelegateModel-based view.
Views (including user-defined views) that aren't internally based on a DelegateModel need to explicitly support
this type of component to make it function as described.
