Can EBGuide project/libraries be ported to QT?

[sijoycsaju]

My intention is to use the present EBGUIDE HMI as it is and incorporate additional HMI using QT. Is this possible? Any suggestions will be most helpful.

It is usually very difficult to incorporate two different UI stacks in one process due to each making assumption about event processing.

Qt applications can do that to some extent, e.g. when integrating with the platform native dialogs, but these are by their nature separate windows.

For the other way around some people manage to do that by "running the Qt application in a separate thread", basically letting it manage its windows separately.
