Qml / QtQuick about qtsharp

[ddobrev]

QtQuick is definitely on my list but since I am forced to work on Qt# in-between because of paid jobs, there will be a while until it's complete. The time-consuming part there is the integration between the host language (C#) and QML, there has to be a way of defining properties and events (signals) in C# so that they are invoked as needed in QML and vice-versa.
About QtNetwork, I know about this bug. I have actually already filed it at mono/CppSharp#569, you are welcome to track its progress or even send a patch.

[ddobrev]

QtNetwork works now and is added to my new release: https://github.com/ddobrev/QtSharp/releases/tag/0.0.4 .

[ddobrev]

QtQml has been added: https://github.com/ddobrev/QtSharp/releases/tag/0.0.5 .
Thank you for testing, please continue with it.

Thanks for adding QtQml support that's awesome

Is there any reason why this issue is not closed ?

[ddobrev]

@dsoronda because there's no support for QML yet.

[dsoronda]

well, how about this example ?

[Hecatron]

Some of the stuff within QT uses templates such as

display->findChild<QPushButton *>("bar");
display->findChildren<QWidget *>();

In order for that to work in C# you need to translate it across to generics in C# (same thing but by a different name). But that's not quite in CppSharp yet which is what QtSharp relies on.

so if you happen to use some code that doesn't involve generics / templates then it might work, but you won't be able to use any of the Qt API's that do use generics / templates which may limit what you can do

If you need Qml integration, I am working on a project that does exactly this. I'd consider it usable for production.

[ddobrev]

@pauldotknopf thank you, I'll definitely have it in mind. I can see you've written your own bridge instead of using CppSharp which makes me a little sad but I still think we could collaborate.

[pauldotknopf]

Yeah, I'm open to a collaboration.

Unfortunately, CppSharp wouldn't work for the QML stuff, since there has to be a native component to work closely with the qml-private headers.
