Hey everyone! I am trying to decide whether I should use C++/Qt or Objective-C/Cocoa for my
next project. I am familiar with C++ and Qt, but know nothing about Objective-C/Cocoa (but
definitely don't mind learning since mac is becoming my primary target platform).
Qt has a pretty good support for model/view architecture, but using it for apps with tree,
table, graphics widgets that pull data from the same model seems pretty challenging.
So, I am wondering how one would go about organizing such an app with Objective-C/Cocoa.
Basically, I want to store train schedules (involving ~20,000 trains) in a model so that
(1) The tree widget would display departure cities at the top level, arrival cities on
the next level, and finally the corresponding trains.
Like this:
trains. Train selection can be facilitated by adding check boxes to the above tree widget.
(3) Graphics widget would visualize the route of the selected trains on a map.
I would really appreciate any suggestions! Thank you!
