[Qt-interest] How to use Windows Message System in Qt/Win Application?

Hi Mathias,
hi all.


puuuhh... schwerer Kunde ;-).

Ok... i thought your are inside the app.
I take another look - now to the sources - and
have found the virtual function

virtual bool QWidget::winEvent(MSG *message, long *result);

If this doesn't work, then it is the best way
to create a native dummy window in your dll and
connect the message queue there.

BTW: Im not sure if the system design is right.
     If you encapsulates the pollux stuff completely in
     the dll, then you are right.

Best Regards,
