Using the custom controls

One needs to make available to the QML engine the Esterv.CustomControls module by setting the QML import path.

1. In your main function engine.addImportPath("qrc:/esterVtech.com/imports"); to use the resource file.
2. Set the environment variable like export QML_IMPORT_PATH=installDir/CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR where CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR is where Esterv folder was created.
