Rhapsody, QNX, and Photon Application Builder   
Hello All,

I am using IBM/Telelogic Rhapsody (v 7.5) together with QNX (v 6.4.1) for a development of a new application. The 
application will have a GUI which I would like to create with the Photon Application Builder. Does anyone have 
experience developing applications with Rhapsody and PhAB? What is the recommended way to communicate between the two 
processes? The User of the application should be able to enter information via the GUI as well as see run time control 
data on the GUI. Or is it recommended to program the GUI without the PhAB and to call the Photon library functions 
directly from the Rhapsody Model/code? It would be nice to have a solution using the PhAB since it greatly simplifies 
the creation of Windows and their layout.

Thank you for you help

Cheers

Marcel

Hi !

We also firstly planned to use photon with Rhapsody and QNX. As Photon provide C source code, it is possible to generate
 a resource manager that will be called by the main application (generated by Rhapsody). You can also share memory 
between the two applications to exchange data. At first sight, it appears difficult to generate photon code in Rhapsody 
(you need to design a wrapper class for Photon functions).

Finally we decided to use Qt which is now proviced with LGPL licence, graphic application and main application will 
communicate each-other using TCP/IP communication trough local loopback.
