Well, that's your answer there: the feature you want isn't supported on the OS you have. So why is Qt any different?
I'm painting a scenario to understand how you'd have to handle such a situation, when there isn't a company you can call upon to fix the problem for you. We keep discussing the ability to upgrade Qt but not upgrade the rest of the OS. I understand that Qt is a central component of the UI, but it's no less critical than a lot of other components that you may need to upgrade in order to deal with circumstances changing. -- That doesn’t mean that Qt cant support it, its that Qt needs to be able to compile without it. And if you cant, rev the major version Scott _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org https://lists.qt-project.org/listinfo/interest
