I looked at pyQT about 5 years ago. QT has come a long way since them (now doing native mobile apps).

That said, if you are interested in using VFP skills and building Web/Mobile apps, you might want to look at Lianja. That's where I ended up after looking at the alternatives. Next year it is scheduled to do native mobile QT apps. Although in the current beta (in RC mode), for mobile apps (PhoneGap'ed, push a button and get it back from Adobe Build) it uses the mobile OS's native controls for date, dropbox, etc., so that user gets a native look and feel, which is kind of neat.

(Disclaimer: I'm a Lianja MVP)

>>>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?
