Using WINAPI in Qt applications

Question

Hi Geeks,

Can anybody tell if I can use the Windows APIs in my qt application? If yes can anybody tell me the procedure to do it? I need to use the msdn winapi "GetSystemPowerStatus" in my qt application to show the battery status in my qt GUI based application.

Answer 1

Yes, you can use those APIs (generally speaking), by including the appropriate header files.

It will make your code platform-specific (non-portable), so if there is a cross-platform way of doing so, I would use that.
