Yes, I was involved in Qt3 support for Kylix, but it have nothing to do with lazarus qtlcl , since Qt3 used different (and better approach IMO) to generate C bindings. You get all clasees (even protected methods), so overriding was piece of cake - and yes K3/Qt3 apps were snappy and stable :) > > We do have a shocking number of fixes on top of it though. > > > If they shared all there Kylix enhancements, I have no idea. > > No, we haven't.

Afair, at that time Simon, Andreas and me asked Borland for and NDA .. I was ready to sit down and fix Kylix for free - it costs Borland exactly $0, but they answered after few months that Kylix is not their priority (and that means = dead)....all happened after M$ was involved into borland ... after that .Net delphi was out etc etc .... So Kylix is dead because of political reasons - nothing else. zeljko
