Sygecom,

We prefer to directly use the Windows API without having to use an intermediate layer (QT) that adds more complexity, so FiveWin EXEs are smaller and faster as they don't need QT, and we have full control over its source code, which it is quite simple and easy to understand and modify it :-)

regards, saludos

Hello Antonio,
I mean that is the portability offered by HBQT today. The performance issue believe that the machines today is difficult to perceive a difference between this, but for portability to the API would be unique and easily you have an application for various platforms. Today FiveLinux, FiveMac does not contain all options regarding FiveWin.
I believe that using the QT API everything would be more compatible.
Today I think that developers would like to LIB for Linux or Mac is the same for Windows, 100% stable and complete (Fivewin). And I also think that FiveTech not develop for these platforms something 100% compatible with Fivewin because no developer interested enough to develop such LIB.

Leonardo,

QT is a huge library and even if its source code is available, it is extremelly complex to modify it, rebuild it, etc.

We like the simplicity and easy of use to access the Windows API directly. We get small apps, self contained, that don't need external DLLs.

Harbour provides QT support, so if you need it, you already have it :-)

regards, saludos
