I could also restate the problem entirely. It would really be appreciated if Qt supplied an AppDelegate that I can hook into and supply handlers for without having to write Obj-C. That would satisfy my (and I think others' wishes) It would also tie into my long-running gripe about Qt's incomplete platform integration on Mobile. If such an AppDelegate plugin approach were developed, it should also be able to plug into Android well. (The plugin*, not the AppDelegate. Android would need it's own version of app delegate) *Not strictly a QPlugin. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
