In fact, WinRT is implemented in terms of WTL.
You mean WRL (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh438466(v=vs.110) )... No, and yes: No, because normally you use C++/CX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B/CX) when you use WinRT, which is not the same as the good old managed C++/CLI, it's normal native C++ code with some compiler extensions what makes dealing with WinRT much easier. And yes, you can avoid C++/CX and you can use WRL. As I can see it's ugly as hell so I really hope somebody will port Qt and we don't need to deal with it ever again... :) And yes it needs a lot of work, but I don't think it's much different than porting to Symbian or Win CE. Which means we probably won't see it except if Nokia wants it... tr3w _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
