     \title Qt Quick Controls Overview
-    \brief A set of APIs for working with ...
+    \brief A set of UI controls to create user interfaces in Qt Quick
+
+    The Qt Quick Controls provide a set of UI controls to create user interfaces
+    in Qt Quick.
+
+    \section1 Getting Started
+
+    The QML types can be imported into your application using the following import statement in your \c {.qml} file.
+
+    \code
+     import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
+    \endcode
+
+    \section1 Creating a basic example
+
+    A basic example of a QML file that makes use of controls is shown here:
+
+    \code
+    import QtQuick.Controls 1.0
+
+    ApplicationWindow {
+        title: "My Application"
+
+        Button {
+            text: "Push Me"
+            anchors.centerIn: parent
+        }
+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    For an overview of the controls provided by \l{Qt Quick Controls}, you can look at
+    the \l{Qt Quick Controls - Gallery}{Gallery} example.

+
+    \section1 Setting Up Controls from C++
+
+    Although we have traditionally used a QQuickView window 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 the
+    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 <QApplication>
+    #include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
+
+    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
+    {
+        QApplication app(argc, argv);
+        QQmlApplicationEngine engine("main.qml");
+        return app.exec();
+    }
+    \endcode
+
+    \note We are using QApplication and not QGuiApplication in this example.
+    Though you can use QGuiApplication instead, doing this will eliminate platform-dependent styling.
+    This is because it is relying on the widget module to provide the native look and feel.
+
+    \section2 Using C++ Data From QML
+
+    If you need to register a C++ class to use from QML, you can call, for example,
+    qmlRegisterType() before declaring your QQmlApplicationEngine. You can find the list
+    of all registering functions \l{QQmlEngine}{here}.
+
+    If you need to expose data to QML components, you need to set them
+    to the context of the current QML engine. See QQmlContext for more
+    information.
