Personally, I did some tests in the past with hwgui and used the text
based coordinates as multipliers of font height and width...
WIDTH value can be calculated... code can be taken from the GET
system, since it calculates the screen area to use... just multiply by
font width..

PICTURE are a problem since there is non compatibility with Qt... I
don't use complex picture string, just some "@!"...
VALID and WHEN are a completely diffent subject since you have to
create a layer that handles object focus... more, I did not understand
if there is already a system (hbxbp???) to interface memory variables
with "widgets"
Example, setting a variable value inside a widget is "easy"... but
then the widget must set the new value back, possibly in a clipper
compatible way....

Or otherwise we should change programing paradigm, a new style of
programming, at least the screen interface...

Well, if they were incapsulated in your functions, you may try to
adapt them to hbqt...


In the long end, it would be difficult to adapt an old application
without serious changes in the code....
