WPF and QT

[kroenecker]

I've been watching videos about WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) and XAML, which can be used to build WPF applications. I realized pretty immediately that the XAML files used to describe the WPF applications are basically the files generated by QT Designer.

This made me wonder to what extent QT/OpenGL could be expanded upon to create an application that is rendered purely in OpenGL (with the same level of ease as WPF). All of the "hype" around WPF basically boils down to using DirectX wisely to render applications from what I can tell.

Just thought I would share. I've never really used QT's OpenGL functionality so I can't really speak for it.

You can use QGraphicsView with an OpenGL viewport and insert widget items into the scene to obtain a nice effect.
