    Default QT5.2 on WIndows 8 tablet

    hello all
    I have developed an 32 bit application based on Qt5.*which works on a wide variety of Windows-based desktops, laptops. I am using MSVC 2012A
    I distribute the application through an Installshield setup setup file together with a number of DLLs (Qt*.dll, and libEGL.dll, libGLESv2.dll, icudt51.dll, icuin51.dll: I selected these files euristically, ie I was asked when running the application for these files were missing). I also included patforms/qwindows.dll (plugin used from Qt5 to detect the supported platforms)

    So far so good

    I then installed the same application on an ASUS tabled based on Windws 8 and I have issued when visualizing graphics widgets (buttons, linedit etc.)

    Has this something to do with OpenGL (which I used for the application, at least I dwonloaded Qt5.2 from here

    http://download.qt-project.org/offic...2012-5.2.1.exe

    Appearently I cannot see differencies in https://qt-project.org/downloads between OpenGL and ANGLE in the MSV2012 download
    Maybe I select different libs from here ..\Qt\Qt5.2.0\5.2.0\msvc2012\bin?

    I acannot find any practical solution in the Q web page. Actually I am not completely sure if this is an OpenGL vs. ANGLE issue

    Thanks in advance to who'll help on this

    Regards

    The OpenGL builds are for systems with an up to date OpenGL driver, i.e. usually provided by the graphics card vendor since the one from Microsoft is in the stone age of GL.
    The ANGLE build acknowledges the bad situation of OpenGL on Windows by using a translation layer that implements OpenGL on top of Direct3D.

    Cheers,
