I think it makes perfect sense for many reasons to strive for exposing the QC2/QML/etc. API to C++ applications, and that that's something we should certainly do. There are very reasonable user scenarios and business cases where that would be desirable, as the trade-offs mentioned are on the scale from unpalatable to undesirable to unattractive. _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
