>Hi: Does anyone have experience using the QT GUI (
http://www.qt.io/) with foxpro? With python scripts, for instance, one taps into QT or pyQT like this:
>
>
>import sys, os, time
>from PyQt4 import QtGui, QtCore
>

>Is it possible to do something like this in foxpro? I am used to using createobject to get to another program such as excel or word, but I can't figure out if creatobject exists with QT, or if there are some steps to do and then be able to do a createobject with QT?
PyQt4 is probably a Wrapper/Marshaller from Python runtime with its variable mechanisms into the C runtime of QT.
If only specific functions are needed to be callable, declare dll is the vfp command to check. Or a wrapper in C might be written and compiled into a .fll
As QT is a sizable package, unless you can create some automatic conversion from another language and fine tune that result for the remaining edge cases it is probably too much effort to put into vfp - esp. as vfp runtimes are only licensed on windows.
