Hello fellows,

Does somebody know if there are specific Qt methods to query hardware status (CPU usage, memory and HDD statuses) on Windows and Linux platforms or there is no way to avoid implementation using native APIs?

Thanks in advance!

Qt dont have especific funtion for get hardware status.

try to use the API that the OS provide for that porpuse. and use QT for build the UI only.

sorry my poor english

Hi, on Linux you can read the files in /proc to get those values.
On Windows you will have to use the native API.
