Hey!

My question is very simple, but the solution is very complex:

How can I display using code ("-display" when I run my application is not an option) a QWidget on a remote computer belongs to my network?

Thanks.

well, use setenv("DISPLAY", ...); ;)
(and before createing a QApplication...)

Or do you want to display widgets of a single program on different machines at the same time? Then you need multiple X11 connections. I don't think this is supported by Qt.

I dont think we can use this on windows ?? can we ?

well, the setenv will be there.
but you're right, it won't help a lot...
(I thought you were using a real OS :p )

Using X11 and the method XOpenDisplay(IP) is possible.

Is there any method to do the same in Qt?
