Can Qt host WPF controls?
-
I'm not a windows guy and totally not a .net guy. But as a wild guess: maybe C# bindings will help you in this (Qyoto)?

I search a bit and found this: http://www.netframeworkdev.com/windows-presentation-foundation-wpf/can-win32-cpp-host-wpf-without-the-clr-switch-86865.shtml
It seems like you need some COM/ActiveX magic to get it done without managed C++ (/clr switch)
maybe someday someone will provide a QWPFHostWidget ...

@denis, as I understand Qyoto makes it possible to develop Qt and KDE applications using C#, or any other .NET language (see http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Languages/Qyoto). In other words for .NET to host Qt widgets, but I don't think the other way, Qt hosting .NET/WPF widgets. Is that others understanding as well?
Also, is Qyoto stable enough for an ISV with millions of lines of Qt code to build strategy for integration with .NET on?
@vertexwahn, thanks I will look in to that. Since Qt is pure Win32 then if Win32 can host WPF should work?
Can Qt host other types of controls such as ActiveX controls?
Thanks, Kurt

The documentation "Dot Net Example (ActiveQt)", http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.7/activeqt-dotnet.html , says that "If you need to combine Qt and Win Forms widgets in the same application, you might want to use the higher-level QtWinForms Solution instead." But QtWinForms link does not work, although I found this, http://doc.trolltech.com/solutions/4/qtwinforms/qtclock-example.html
Where can I find QtWinForms?
The sample seems to leverage QtWinFormsUtils, so like you said @vertexwahn, perhaps if had QtWPFHostWidget or QtWPFUtils would simplify hosting of WPF in Qt.

Looks like yes, http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.7/qt-activex.html

If you can host a WPF control in a native Win32 application it should also work in Qt.

The same discussion happens here: "Where can I find QtWinForms Solution":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/6839/

The above reference indicates that ActiveQt supports hosting Windows Forms. Could it not then also support WPF?
