+    \brief Guidelines for input controls
+
+    Qt Quick Controls offers a variety of input controls for both numeric
+    and textual input.
+
+    \annotatedlist qtquickcontrols-input
+
+    Each type of input control has its own specific target use case. The
+    following sections offer guidelines for choosing the appropriate type
+    of input control, depending on the use case.
+
+    \section1 ComboBox Control
+
+    \image qtquickcontrols-combobox.gif
+
+    \l ComboBox is used to select a value from a static multiple-line drop-down list.
+    It is not possible to add new values, and only one option can be selected.
+
+    Recommendations:
+    \list
+    \li If the number of values is very large, consider applying a filter.
+    \li If the list is very limited, consider using RadioButton. This has the
+    advantage that the user can see all options at the same time.
+    \li Select a default value, the value that will be chosen most often.
+    \endlist
+
+    \b {See also} \l {CheckBox Control}, \l {Tumbler Control}.
+
+    \section1 Dial Control
+
+    \image qtquickcontrols-dial.png
+
+    \l Dial is similar to a traditional dial knob that is found on devices such
+    as stereos or industrial equipment.
+
+    The dial is rotated by clicking and dragging, with the handle indicating the
+    value of the dial.
+
+    For applications where fast input is important, the circular
+    \l {Dial::inputMode}{input mode} is useful, as clicking on the dial will
+    move it directly to that position.
+
+    For applications where precise input is important, the horizontal and
+    vertical input modes are recommended, as these allow small adjustments to
+    be made relative to where the dial is clicked. These modes are also better
+    for dials where large jumps in values could be unsafe, such as a dial that
+    controls audio volume.
+
+    \b {See also} \l {Tumbler Control}.
+
+    \section1 TextArea Control
+
+    \image qtquickcontrols-textarea.png

+
+    \section1 TextField Control
+
+    \image qtquickcontrols-textfield.png
+
+    \l TextField is a single line text editor.
+
+    \b {See also} \l {Tumbler Control}.
+
+    \section1 Slider Control
+
+    \image qtquickcontrols-slider.gif
+
+    \l Slider is used to select a value by sliding a handle along a track.
+
+    \section1 RangeSlider Control
+
+    \image qtquickcontrols-rangeslider.gif
+
+    \l RangeSlider is used to select a range specified by two values,
+    by sliding each handle along a track.
+
+    \b {See also} \l {Slider Control}.
+
+    \section1 Tumbler Control
+
+    \image qtquickcontrols-tumbler.png
+
+    \l Tumbler is a spinnable wheel of items that can be selected.
+
+    \b {See also} \l {ComboBox Control}.
