[Qt-interest] Windows 7 Style not showing?

[Eric Clark]

Thank you everyone for your help! I have a lot of suggestions here, so I am going to take them one at a time and see if I can't get it fixed. Also, we do not support Win2K with our application, so there is no need for me to have to worry about Win2K compatibility issues, but thank you everyone for your help!

Are there any trolls out there that can tell me when Qt plans to start supporting VS 2010? And by that I mean, when do they plan to start releasing the VS 2010 build for commercial customers?

Thanks Again!
Eric
