Interesting. The framework is basically there.

Object oriented QT-pascal mapping would be rather easy to do. The existing 
code maps C++ classes and methods to flat functions, they just need to be 
mapped back to Object Pascal classes and methods. Clumsy but who cares.

Other part would be a QT aware form designer with a different layout manager. 
That would need some work and a more modular, refactored form designer 
interface in IDE.
Still, doable...

This is a fascinating idea actually. Combining the good parts of QT and pascal 
programming.


Regards,
Juha
