+    \keyword Getting Started with Qt Quick Controls 2
+    \title Getting Started with Qt Quick Controls
+
+    A basic example of a QML file that makes use of controls is shown here:
+
+    \qml
+    import QtQuick
+    import QtQuick.Controls
+
+    ApplicationWindow {
+        title: "My Application"
+        width: 640
+        height: 480
+        visible: true
+
+        Button {
+            text: "Push Me"
+            anchors.centerIn: parent
+        }
+    }
+    \endqml
+
+    \section1 Setting Up Controls from C++
+
+    Although QQuickView has traditionally been used to display QML files in a
+    C++ application, doing this means you can only set window properties from
+    C++.
+
+    With Qt Quick Controls, declare an ApplicationWindow as the root item of
+    your application and launch it by using QQmlApplicationEngine instead.
+    This ensures that you can control top level window properties from QML.
+
+    A basic example of a source file that makes use of controls is shown here:
+
+    \code
+    #include <QGuiApplication>
+    #include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
+
+    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+    {
+        QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
+        QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
+        engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
+        return app.exec();
+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    \section2 Using C++ Data From QML
+
+    If you need to register a C++ class to use from QML, you can call
+    qmlRegisterType() before declaring your QQmlApplicationEngine.
+    See \l [QtQml] {Defining QML Types from C++} for more information.
+
+    If you need to expose data to QML components, you need to make them
+    available to the context of the current QML engine. See QQmlContext for
+    more information.
