Are you referring to this one: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/winsystem.html ?

Well, it clearly tells you what to do: "Not documented here. Please contact Qt's technical support team if you have queries."

;)

But honestly, the only major Windows-specific thing which comes to my mind is the ActiveX integration, http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qt-activex.html

Then there are tiny little knobs and bolts such as http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qwidget.html#winId which would return a platform-specific value - but these are rare.

Then there are other components which simply are not supported on Windows, e.g. DBus which by nature is not really platform-specific, but in practice is not (yet) supported on Windows (only Linux and Mac) - that is due to the progress of the DBus project, which still is in "experimental stage" on Windows, at least last time I checked.

Does that help?

Cheers, Oliver
