digitalmars.D.announce - QtD. first results.

2 month passed since the work on Qt binding started and we got first results
now. There are about 130 classes that work now or I better say _should_ work
now because it requires a lot of testing. Among them are basic widgets like
QLabel, QPushButton and so on. The API is not full and there is methods that
have container types or Variants as parameters. Basic layouts work. The whole
thing works only on linux for the moment.

For those who doesn't know we are at http://code.google.com/p/qtd/

The main issue is that signals and slots and therefore event-handling in
toolkit is not implemented. So it means that it is not really useful right now.
But still we decide that it will be better than announce that not, to let
people know that some work is going on.

Any help will be appreciated i.e. improving build system, porting tutorials and
examples, or if you want help with the binding itself.

Thank you, best regards.

Great to hear about the progress!

As always, nothing speaks to people's hearts like screenshots.  So put
some up if you get a chance!

Also eagerly awaiting the report from you guys on what kind of
reflection capabilities D would need to support Qt perfectly without
MOC.

I think that's awesome news! Quick question - are you using D1, D2, or 
both for compiling?

D1. Although we will probably have to port moc for it(D2 hopefully lets us
avoid preprocessor), but nobody who I asked was able to tell me where D2 comes
out of beta. And so nobody ever started working on tango-D2 which I use as well
as other things which are D1-only at the moment. But of course we are
considering D2 in the future.

We hope so. In first place I was doing it for my own purposes, I wonder why it
didn't exist before :)
