But they are all running on the same platform. You can do hybrid apps in Qt, I did one in MFC and Qt. Remember at some level Qt is "just a library". I'd imagine that at some point though you'd need to merge the event loops depending on the level of intertop required. If you don't have the same process/address space you'll need some level of IPC. _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
