WebKit + WindowsMobile

[XerXi]

Hi all,

I'm exploring possible solutions for a project on a Windows Mobile device that main requirements are:

• a web-based application when user is online
• a client application when user is offline

A friend talked to me a little about Qt, but I've got a lot of doubts and I want an advice.

I would know if I can do the web-based application with Qt-WebKit and detect when connection fall down, then launch automatically, and transparent for the user, the client application made with Qt too.

Is it easy or could be expensive/hard?

I hope I explained well.

Thank you,
SBC

Yep, it is possible. You might have to detect the disconnection yourself and propagate it to the web sandbox but that is not a big deal.

Quite a few application for embedded are made just like that actually.

It is easy if you know C++.

The one thing I don't know is the state of the port for Windows Mobile, especially now that Microsoft is killing the product. I work mainly on Linux embedded.

You should ask on the forum "Mobile and Embedded" if Windows Mobile support is still active.
