Hello, (answering to the list)
At this moment, WtDesktop is on hold. I am not doing any further development unless someone pays for it (in fact, my spare time is so scarce EmWeb would be the right people to further develop and adopt WtDesktop) The idea behind WtDesktop is different from what you want to achieve, though: - You want to have a native desktop application (using desktop widgets) and a native web application (using some web framework/library). AFAIK there is no library or framework you can use to do that. - WtDesktop's approach is to develop a web application, then use QtWebKit to create a native application that starts your webapp and shows it in the desktop. This is already implemented in the code at http://gitorious.org/wtdesktop - You can further develop the code if you want My advice: - if your application is simple and does not require the widgets to look platform-native (i.e. Aero style on Vista, Aqua on Mac, Oxygen on KDE4, etc), the wtdesktop approach is fine. - if your application is complex and/or requires widgets to look platform-native, WtDesktop will not be OK. You will need to split your application into a backend (business logic, database access, security, etc) and two front-ends (a web GUI and a desktop GUI). Also, FOX is a very bad decision for a toolkit. It is very different from Wt and is much less powerful and complete than Qt. For maximum code reuse and minimum development effort, use Wt for the web GUI and Qt for the desktop GUI (and try not to use Qt for the backend - it is possible but not easy to mix Qt and Wt code, especially when Qt event loops are involved).
