You need to update yourself on Xbase++.
When we talk about Clipper we know we are talking about console, not GUI.
When we talk about GUI, we talk about FWH, HWGUI, HMG, XAILER, VXH and few
more
here and there, but we do not talk about Harbour. Do we ?
We selected Xbase++ standards for these reasons:
1. Excellent documentation.
2. Well defined object modal.
3. Standradization of object creation, per passing the parameters and return
values.
4. Close proximity with Clipper syntax.
5. Extremely useful MT support and usage pattern.
6. Large user base and ready to compile code.
We opted for Qt:
1. Code once, deploy everywhere.
2. Very clean way of object manipulation.
3. excellent documentation.
4. Flexible licensing requirements.
5. Versatile features.

Yes, and this suggests that we must deploy our resources in right
directions.
I urge the users to be vocal on the list. It creates a sense of satisfaction
and
acceptance.
NOTE: Xbase++ framework based on Qt has received a very little response
till date mainly due to the fact that users are diversified to so
many GUI's.
Probably, it will take little more time if someone may jump in
seriously.
Nevertheless, my efforts will remain 100%concentrated on the
subject.
