Hello

Did somebody tried that ? I want to use it because it allows OpenGL and I did it for a waterfall. It's mainly for a standlaone application wrapped over a VST plug-in, and I want this plug-in to work with other hosts - that I don't have BTW

-

the main page of my beginning project : http://sourceforge.net/projects/waterfallvst/

I've been having a look at the possibility of using a Qt widget as a VST. Qt also has OpenGL (or are wxWidgets actually Qt based?).

There are some migration classes for Qt that enable you to use Qt dialogs in non-Qt windows apps - so it would be possible to give a QWidget an HWND parent.

I've not really had time to try it out yet...

If you've not heard of Qt b4, go to http://www.trolltech.com/
There's a GPLed version, but for commercial use it costs a lot (but saves a lot of time!).

Thanks

I also read on music-dsp that somebody tried it with MFC, but it failed.
Audacity is made with wxWidgets, and they send the hwnd to the plug-in. Perhaps I will make it

?

I know Qt, but I thought it was only for Linux, and I know wxWdgets slightly well, so I'll try it this way first

Qt is cross platform (windows, linux, motif, osx etc) - the philophy being that you write your code once, and then simply recompile it for different platforms.

The developer of 93Bits (Obsession, 8Ball) uses wxWidgets for VST Win, VST Mac and Audio Units, all from the same CodeBase. He also used it on SoundShuttle I think.

Cheers,

Don't know these pieces of software, can't find them on the Web...

When I have the solution - which is germing in my mind -, it will be released for everyone at sourceforge.
