WebKit + WindowsMobile
-
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,

[/quote]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.

[/quote]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.
