Compiler Independence - GUI elements

[TBlakely]

Hello!

My apologies if this is the wrong forum to ask this in, but I couldn't think of a better one short of email. In terms of compiler independence, I was curious as to what your starting point was. Are you looking to replace the Delphi/Borland-dependent form code to something like QT or FLTK? Has the decision been made as to which GUI package to use, or is it a matter of getting the code to be multi-platform (and thus complier independent) first and then replacing the GUI elements from there?

Tim,

We are definitely thinking about replacing the Borland VCL with a cross-platform library such as QT. We have not made a definite decision about this yet. Of note are that the BCI2000 framework is already cross platform/cross compiler capable (Adam Wilson in Wisconsin actually took advantage of this by writing a demo application module in QT); and, in case you'd need it, there is a demo MFC application.
