Mono is pretty gimped, sadly. Most of the "good" .NET stuff is Microsoft-only junk that's only available on Windows. Even Java would be preferable to .NET if you want cross-platform compatibility. You happened to hit on the one thing I don't like about Qt: dock widgets. I've never had a lot of luck with them, and when I do use them I develop with code, not Designer. There's several things that they don't do quite right. But don't let that one widget turn you off to the toolkit as a whole. Qt's very stable and very robust, and it's the best toolkit available for writing apps that look native on all supported platforms. Consider possibly using some other solution if dock widgets in Designer aren't working for you. Maybe construct the dock widgets in code, or maybe use some non-docking solution. /s/ Adam _______________________________________________ Qt-creator mailing list Qt-creator@trolltech.com http://lists.trolltech.com/mailman/listinfo/qt-creator
