[Qt-interest] Advice on the right way to do something

[Andrew Stuart]

Hi folks,

I'm relatively experienced at application design but I don't yet have so
much experience of QT and don't yet have a deep knowledge of it.  SO I don't
yet know the "best" way to do things.  So I would like to ask advice about
the best way to go about solving a certain design challenge.

Requirements:

** display multiple lists/tables of data on screen
** the widget must behave like a window - can be moved, maximized, resized,
dragged, closed
** must be able to animate the window to move around the screen (and off the
screen and back on
** cannot use graphicsview **
** solution should be as light weight as possible
** we don't want to use MDI windows as these were extremely heavy weight and
slow

My questions:

** What is the best way to do this?
** Is there more than one way to do it?
** As I understand it the window functionality must all be build manually
somehow in QT?

Any ideas on how to implement this would be valued.  If you can point me to
examples or sample apps that would be even better.

Help much appreciated.

Thanks
