I'm converting a 500KLOC C++ consumer app from Win32 to Qt so it can also run on macOS. All the app-specific code remains the same. I'm very pleased with how easy it is to design dialogs. Qt is better than anything Microsoft has to offer; what would entice me to forego portability?
- pjmlp 7y agoHave a try at WPF/WinUI, Blend tooling and the myriad of companies selling ready made components. Otherwise, yes Qt is the best option for cross platform C++ code.
- GnarfGnarf 7y ago@pjmlp Thanks for the suggestion. I can see using WPF/WinUI for corporate-type apps where it will run under Windows on thousands of desks. However, if WPF/WinUI doesn't run on macOS, there is no incentive to use it for consumer products. When I do customer presentations, the number one question is "When will it run on the Mac?"
