I disagree. "the widgets would render on the final web application as they render in the Wt..." *IN* *ONE* *BROWSER*, the one you are using to run WtDesigner. If you are running WtDesigner on Firefox, you won't be sure how it will look on Safari, IE7, Chrome or whatnot. Further, nothing prevents you from making the QtDesigner-based WtDesigner render the widgets on a QtWebKit canvas or replace "Show with Plastique style", "Show with CDE style", etc from QtDesigner with "Show in Firefox 3.0", "Show in Opera", etc. In fact, ideally WtCreator would automagically download and install (a-la portable-apps, ie. no system-wide installation) all those browsers so that you can easily test your design. My main reason for proposing the QtCreator (not just QtDesigner) as the starting point for WtCreator is there is already a lot of work done (parser, language support, debugger, designer, etc) and Qt and Wt are very similar (thus making the effort relatively easy, as I have shown in other e-mails). -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
