Hello,

as far as I have read it is possible to use existing C++ code when migrating to C++/CLI. I hope I did not misunderstand what I have read.

If existing code can be used, what is about Qt. Is it possible to use Qt inside C++/CLI code?
If it is not possible I can forget my weird idea :).

The background for my question is:
I downloaded a driver library for a CAN bus interface. It is shipped with an incredible complicated C interface. Along with this crap comes a far more easy to use wrapper for .NET.
(If developers for embedded software in the automotive sector are among us: it is the XL Driver Library by Vector Informatik)

I would like to use this wrapper class, but as it is for .NET my idea was to use C++/CLI to have both: Qt and the easy to use interface to the CAN bus.

Qt is a regular set of C++ libraries so basically anything possible with C++ is possible using Qt as well.
