wxQT

[asif saeed]

Hi,

I am surprised to read this: "wxQt"

What is this? Can somebody point me to a good detailed description
somewhere? I did a google search but I ended up on wxWiki where there is a
list of features but that doesn't describe what it is.

Is it about implementing wx *using* Qt? Why? Can somebody give an overview?

Regards,

Asif,
The way I see it is that some desktop environments (e.g. KDE) are using Qt
as their native widget drawing API, so it only makes sense that there will
be a port to wrap QT
Hence, wxQt

Because this way you select which toolkit to use behind the scene -
GTK or QT (2 major
toolkit nowadays on the *nix platform).
Also GTK applications does not look good on QT-based environment.
One more thing: this year GSOC project was about using wxQT to write
the Android app
in addition to wxAndroid.

There used to be wxMotiff (port with the Motiff-based toolkit, but its
pretty dead right now).

There is a possibility of reviwing wxMotiff, if/when the Motiff/CDE
environment will be mature
enough/secure enough under Linux. But I don't think the creators of
CDE will want to push
this.

GTK is still the main port for wxWidgets, but now you can choose.
wxQT is still considered WIP though. So if you are brave and motivated
you can help with this
port as well.

Thank you.
