Greetings,
I've been developing various tools with RCP and some serious plugin work is on the horizon.

There are some cases where I can make a lot faster progress if I could just develop a particular widget with QT, and embed that into SWT as a custom SWT component.

Google searches present bits an pieces of examples, and I can use them if I can't find any proper documents that explains how to extend SWT with QT (or with other native components).

Is there any documentation/book/tutorial that explains wrapping native widgets with SWT? QT is my target, but anything that goes into details of the topic would help.

After much thinking I've decided to go into this direction, since it'll be the most productive combination of technologies given my circumstances.

Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Best regards
Seref

Hi Seref,

As you're probably aware, you'll need to use the port of SWT for Qt that
is being developed at http://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/swtqt/
(I have not tried using it). If this works well for you in general then
have a look at
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-Writing%20Your%20Own%20Widget/Writing%20Your%20Own%20Widget.htm
for info on creating a new widget, and in particular its "Wrapping a
Native Widget" section.

HTH,
Grant

Hi Grant,
Somehow, I was not notified of your response via e-mail. Thanks for the pointer, I've reached a similar conclusion for the direction of travel, and seeing it in action is really nice.

Best regards
Seref
