If we took the tempting approach of providing a logical QDockTile class wrapper that was to be incorporated into QtGui 5.1, and provided a separate addon for Qt 4... where would such an addon go? A new qt4docktile library? On Friday, January 25, 2013, Laszlo Papp wrote: > On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at

Something more beautiful. :) Firstly, there's no need in C-style abstractions. Secondly, there will be implemented some more features. And it won't be designed as a pugin for plugin, which uses library wrapped by another library. I've already done some features. Code is here: https://github.c

Hello, Jake, The main "unusualness" about our wrapper is that it not only wraps ICustomDestinationList COM-interface, but also allows programmer to put there QActions and use it like with some kind of menus. What it does it stores these actions, gives them unique id's, and those id-s puts into
