Then you may also be interested in the 'wtwithqt' example that
demonstrates Wt/Qt interoperation. I don't think it is currently built
on windows, but demonstrates the idea (Qt needs some special things to
get threading stuff right).

Ah, I may have meant to say that the example is currently not
correctly built on windows ;-) But it should not be too hard to fix.

This is due to a missing resource file (an xml file). Wt uses Qt-style
tr("somekey") syntax to support internationalization, and when it does
not find the key it will be rendered as ??somekey??. The resource
files are located in the example source directory. Read on.

The deploy scripts for examples don't work on windows. You have to run
the examples from the location where they are compiled, or manually
copy them to somewhere else.

The recommended method to build Wt and run the examples is located here:
http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/wiki/index.php/Installing_Wt_2.1_on_MS_Windows

1. Copy wt/resources to your example source directory
(wt/examples/widgetgallery). Not all examples need the resources
directory, but many do. If you get 404 errors on resources/..., then
the example needs the resources directory.
2. If your example requires ExtJS (widgetgallery does), then install
it as described in
http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/wiki/index.php/Frequently_Asked_Questions
(see 1.4).
3. Start the example with the working directory set to the source of
the example (wt/examples/widgetgallery)
Let me know if you still have problems then...
Best regards,
Wim.
