Unlike the Q_INTERFACES approach such a system would solely rely on .h files and have no need to pre-process, compile and link anything. And fwiw, Qt already had a COM-compatible system once that did not survive the beta phase however: http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt-integrity/blobs/HEAD/dist/changes-3.0.0-beta6 I just don't know whether I wanted to ask for that much as I'd be fine with evil casts as long as I know what to cast to :) Harri. _______________________________________________ Qt5-feedback mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt.nokia.com/mailman/listinfo/qt5-feedback
