Looking Native on Windows, saying similar to Microsoft Office

[henry_shanghai]

I am here asking for advice of using QT to develop a native GUI application on Windows Platform.

Currently our team is planning to re-write a new GUI application. We already re-wrote a new MAC GUI applicataion one year again, and now it's windows platform's turn. WPF and QT are two candidates. I used Qt3.1 five years ago and think it's amazing. One of our criteria is the new GUI application need look native on Windows. I am kind of outdated with Qt's recent progress. So here are some questions:

Does QT GUI looks native on Vista, Window 2008?

What's current support status for Window 7?

Best Regards,
Henry

Just add one more info: LGPL or commercial is not a problem. The question is how to convince myself, and the team, that we can develop a native UI on windows platform. I found MacMainWindow in example folders of installed folder, but and of course, there is no WinMainWindow.

You could simply install Qt and check out the Qt Demos, whether they appear native or not !
That would be easiest and sustaining I believe :-)

Will soon do it this week. Wish me luck to get positive feedback.

When I'm on Windows and I run Qt apps. I honestly noticed no difference between Qt apps and native win32 apps. Too bad I can't say the same about KDE4 apps on Windows.

The reason there is MacMainWindow is due to Mac's GUI being Cocoa which is only in Objective-C.
