Hello When a lot of code using wxwidgets is in place, it's sure that moving to qt is a big task ; even though, thanks to qt's GUI designer, it's possible to quickly reproduce the structure of the wxwidget application with QT widgets. If you want to see the power of Qt, I highly advice you to browse the very nice "demos" included in both the Qt and PyQt packages - those are Gui applications that let you watch all kind of abilities very fastly. Also, something that wxwidgets will surely never be able to do : http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2008/12/02/widgets-enter-the-third-dimension-wolfenqt/ The 2 products (and the Gui designer, docs and demos) can be downloaded from these pages : http://www.qtsoftware.com/products/ http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk/software/pyqt/download And if you have some time for reading : http://www.qtsoftware.com/files/pdf/qt-4.4-whitepaper http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/index.html Good time with all that, regards, Pascal Qijing Li a écrit :
Thank you for sharing this information. I started to use wxPython two years ago, which fit my needy very well because the jobs I worked on didn't focus on GUI. But now , the project I am working on involves much drawing shapes and looking, most of wxPython works for me, but one thing, as you mentioned, transparency drove me nuts. wxPython suppose transparent window, but not transparent background that is right what I need. I did research a lot and was trying to find a proper way to get it, it turns out that I found two tricky way, one is to use wx.EVT_ERASE_BACKGROUND tricky, the other is to copy the image of background under the window as the background image. Although the problem is solved, I feel uncomfortable about this. I hope wxPython supports real transparency some day. Recently, I have no plan to transmit to other frameworks, such as PyQt. I'm really interested in what is differences between them, I'll check it. Is there demo of PyQt ? or could you give me some links if they are in the bag. Have a good day!

Its good handling of "function as first-class objects" is also precious when comes the time of setting callbacks (I can't bear anymore the way Swing does it, with interfaces etc.) But much depends on the framework used, too. I've used wxPython for a multimedia project, and actually it lacked a lot of necessary features (transparency, event loop tuning, multithreading support...), but that was 1 year ago, maybe things have changed. Anyway, I'd advocate the use of PyQt, which really offers tremendous possibilities - if your application isn't a simple office application, its' really worth turning towards pyqt. Regards, Pascal Leon a écrit :I think there are two advantages over java for GUI application First, python is more productive and has very rich third modules support, you can check the demo of wxPython. Second, you can develop native-looking GUI BTW: I'm developing GUI application using python and wxPython.
