You mean creating a new widget (say Calendar) that does not inherit
QWidget or some other? Can that even be done? If it can, why would you
want to do it? Sorry for the ignorance, but I'm not sure I understand what
you mean.

If you mean inheriting a normal QWidget and providing some extra
funtionality it can be done very easily.
