Re: [Harbour] Re: Anyone using hbqt ?
I'm collecting some infos at this stage because some aspects are unknown or not clear to me. hbXBP is a class framework based on Xbase++ class documentation. It uses hbQT for GUI implementation. demoQT.prg in contrib/hbqt/tests is a pure hbQT based demo application. Sorry, I missed it. From the source it seems that, up to now, there is no .ch file with #define. hbIDE is a powerful application demonstration ( if we take it in this context ) which exposes many-many constructs of Qt. Yes, it is really nice and this is the reason I'm gathering infos What else you are asing for, or expecting ? I'm asking for infos and sample code ! Expecially infos about porting legacy code to Qt... for example, how can I emulate the PICTURE in GET system ? or the WHEN/VALID ? BTW, Bacco and Vailton will soon release some application based on pure Qt, you can wait for them to be available. It is really good ! I will try to contact them to have a preview, if possible Thanks, Francesco PS: is it possible to compile a static hbide.exe for distribution ?

I did not work on remaining glitches as, at that point of time, I was not familiar with Qt inside-out. Now I am more equipped. If there is ample interest, and shown on this also, then I can look into GTQTC again. Few time ago i inspetcted this contrib lib and found very interesting. I don't tried to use it because i thought was a sleeping project. Thus i'm sure very interested to a clipper based approach to Qt gui. Soon, you will find, at least starting with, documentation.

Re: [Harbour] Re: Anyone using hbqt ?
2. Goto harbour/contrib/hbqt/gtqtc It's in harbour/contrib/gtqtc so it didn't get my attention from what I understand this is a GT module that interfaces with Qt using Qt text-mode, so that you can run a Qt program in text-mode is it correct ? So pure, unmodified clipper source code still works... But can you use gtqtc and mix it with Qt gui items ? Soon, you will find, at least starting with, documentation. Wait a few days more.

So pure, unmodified clipper source code still works... It is wrong to put it like this: so that you can run a Qt program in text-mode. Rather we should say: so that you can run a Clipper program in Qt environments. But can you use gtqtc and mix it with Qt gui items ? I had a plan to emulate GTWVG as GTQTG and am still interested in, but then that is not exactly what you are asking for. BTW, in this context, which other library or implementation does so ? If you are thinking of GTWVW then it is a different story. For sure, an hibrid GUI mode is a quick path to convert existing code, that is why I developed GTWVG on top of GTWVT, but this is not the way to exploit Qt's power. It is better we start thinking port our code to pure GUI. The group knows that I am a die-hard fan of hibrid GUI, but now my priorities are changing. I am drifting toward pure GUI. I will try to find the ways to migrate easily exiting code. TBrowse oriented code may need little labout to adapt to XbpBrowse(). GetList will need much more work to simulate the excat behavior, this this is doable. Needed are some more hands. - enjoy hbIDEing...
