This is viable. I can produce a Qt COM client/server easily. I have, in fact. I didn't think I'd need to go that far for this project. I do it like this: .exe COM server <--- Qt COM wrapper <--- Qt app server ---> vbScript So, my Qt app is acting like a COM server to vbScript and wrapping my .exe server will all my enhanced COM stuff. I'm doing this already. That's why I wrote the wrapper, for vbScript, in fact. I guess I just need to look in to one of the other interfaces you suggested. The marshalling code for COM is quite an adventure, and I'd rather not have to do it all over again. > > Also, I fail to see how CMake is relevant here. > > > > All I was saying was that the wtwithqt sample example was using CMAKE > and Qt uses a different build system.
