I would bet they were already defined, they are extremely old. > Does anyone use Qt on Windows though? That doesn't make sense to me.

If you use LCL-Qt in all platforms your port effort between them is minimal (if necessary), both because you are using the same LCL-Qt codebase instead of multiple widgetset codes with various states of supported components and because Qt is not a native toolkit, it just looks native but has custom painting which helps it be very consistent across platforms. -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
