How to call native apis

[Balaji N]

In QT, how to call native apis?
Please provide the examples. How to call the api for Windows, Linux, mac OS.

@Balaji-N This does not have anything to do with Qt. Qt is not a programming language.
You call native APIs like in any other C/C++ application.
"Please provide the examples" - please read documentation for these APIs. This is Qt forum and not native Windows/Linux/MacOS API forum.

Further to @jsulm, the whole point of using Qt is that (hopefully) you should not have/want to call any native APIs at all, since Qt provides an abstraction layer on top of most of them.

Hi
this shows something simple.

so for other API calls, you would need to link the rights DLLs.
This is windows only.

Both Linux and macOS will be very different.
