Hi Dave,

We can develop advance GUIs using  QT Declarative, you can check
additional details in below mentioned links.

<sigh>  I'm not getting my point across.  No arguments that Qt is
simpler 
and faster, and more enjoyable to develop with.  That does not negate
the 
fact that to develop the kinds of UI you can do in minutes with .NET
would 
take days in Qt because of the lack of widgets.  For example, please
tell me 
how I would quickly use Qt to develop the apps shown in 
http://www.telerik.com/products/winforms/sample-applications.aspx

I honestly hope you can, because I would far rather use Qt than .NET to 
develop these kinds of apps.  But I don't know how.
