FiveWin for QT

To ease the use of Harbour and QT, in case that you need it and want to reuse your FiveWin expertise :-)

Personally I find QT quite heavy, having to use many DLLs and slow in execution (see how long takes to ends an app), but it is there for your use if you need it. Enjoy it :-)

Actually it seems that only MinGW can be used

Pardon me for my ignorance, but - what exactly is QT?
It's better to ask than to pretend I know what is it :)

Antonio,

So it is a cross platform GUI?.

The same sintax can be used in Windows, Mac, Linux?.

If so, very very interesting.

Antonio,

Is there a newest version?. Only are WINDOW, DIALOG, TIMER and MsgInfo.

Do you plan to implement all FW commands?.

Thank you for the iniciative ;).

congratulations, this is the future since it is the harbor platform you will be able to have the same application for different platforms, it will leave a Fivewin qt?

Imagination always requires a dosis of reality to get balanced...

Try QT, try the "multiplatform" apps, and then get your own conclusions...

Why to use such a huge intermediate and slow layer, when you can have a real fast, lightweight app, that does not need QT at all ? :-)

Antonio,

What do you mean by "when you can have a real fast, lightweight app"?. FiveMac?. FiveLnux?.

Will you keep adding Fivewin commands to FWQT?.

BTW, because of QT "bloatedness", new project razor-qt started:
http://razor-qt.org/
It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface. Unlike most desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines.
Here is debian based distribution: siduction razor-qt 12.1

Elvira,

What I mean is that a FiveWin, FiveMac or FiveLinux app is a much faster application than using QT.

I have tested it myself but it is easy to guess it based on the amount of DLLs that QT requires to work.
