From this release, object variable assigned to a window created with DEFINE WINDOW command, is automatically made public. At control creation, an instance variable is dynamically added to its parent window object. The name of this instance variable, is the control's 'stringified' object variable name and its content is the control object. So, you could access a particular control from any place without regarding about scoping, exactly like standard HMG. So, we have standard OOP and semi-OOP to select
That would be perfect. I think we needn't change our existing code a lot.
As per my initial test:
1. Old HMG syntax changed (for OOP). But, more flexible.
2. Size of .exe file increased.
3. Required .dll files. So, now, we can't have stand alone .exe file. We must accept it to make it multi-platform
I like it
Rathi, you are correct.
1. Theoretically it should be nearly 100% compatible with standard HMG.
2. Yes.
3. Apparently, there is possible to create a static executable requiring no dll's, but I do not know how to do it yet

Can you please remove executable files from samples directory?
Also run time libraries (dll files) can be distributed once.
IMHO, This would reduce the installation file size considerably.
I agree with you Rathi
No everybody has fast and free internet
fe : PSpad and MinGW too may be not standard components of HMG unless changed.
If you link qt static then then you have to purchase a QT license.
It is open source and free of charge only if linked dynamically.
This has been discussed many times in Harbour Dev list.

Yes.
The only question that I was not able to answer is about QTCORE4.DLL and QTGUI4.DLL redistribution.
Even in the Nokia site there are unanswered questions about that.

If someone knows about this, please, clarify...
I've researched a little more and I've found that these dlls are distributed with lots of applications and are freely available to download from various sites (ie: dll-files.com) so, we could assume that there is no restrictions on redistribution.
"As announced on January 14, 2009, Qt version 4.5 added another option, the LGPL,which should make Qt even more attractive for non-GPL open source projects and for closed applications." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qt_(framework)
