Qt and C++ Desktop Applications

gianni

Hi,
I have a C++ Desktop Application and now I'm wondering if is it possible (and you would recommend it...) to tun this application as a web application with Qt.
The Destop app implements a lot of scientific calculations, so I'd love not to convert it on a Web App, but insted just to publish it trough Qt.

Any help?
Are there existing examples of this use case?

Thank's.

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Are you thinking about something like "Qt Cloud Services":https://qtcloudservices.com ?

gianni

I'm pretty sure that Qt Cloud Services can publish native Qt applications, but I'm not sure if can convert C++ Desktop Applications in web applications.
My question if exaction this one; is it possible to turn a c++ app in web app, and what is it the expected effort to do that?

SGaist

Then you mean turn a full QWidget application in something embedded in a web page ?

gianni

Yes, if I understood well, need to embed first my desktop app in a QWidget, and then the QWidget in a web page.

gianni

So, do I need to use QtWebKit Bridge to convert a QWidget in a web page?

No, you'll have to use something like the "Wt":http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt
