Hi,

I'm not sure where or on what version the Qt header translations are based, but I thought I would mention this news post here...

You once mentioned you might start a Mac port for fpGUI. In that case, you might want to know that I am writing Cocoa bindings for Pascal.

They are doing quite well. They are fully object oriented, don't require any external dll to use, are written 100% in Object Pascal and I've already sucessed in having callbacks for events executed, creating windows, buttons, text labels, setting the text of control, etc.

We might start our own LCL-Cocoa some day. At the moment I think that the Carbon port might need some Cocoa code to support some features only available in Cocoa, like NSStatusItem.

That's excellent news Felipe! The Mac port for fpGUI is planned for Q4
2008. When the time comes, I don't hope you mind me asking you a few questions. My knowledge of Mac's are non-existent. :-)

I can get my hands on Mac OS X 10.4.7, would that suffice? I have heard there was some major changes in 10.5, but not sure what they are.

I only have 10.4, so I can't develop anything 10.5 specific =)

I think that Mac OS X is a great OS, but they have a huge problem that they change things too much, too often, making it almost impossible to support many versions.
