Can someone point to me where I can find binary distribution of the latest Qt Framework 4.8.0. (with MingW32) ready for Office automation?

1What does Qt have to do with Office automation? – Lukáš Lalinský Feb 02 '12 at 16:38

@Lukáš Lalinský: As far as I know, Qt targets Windows platform and can do COM/ActiveX. – menjaraz Feb 02 '12 at 16:45

@Styne666: -1 for the question or for the comment? Please elaborate if it for the question. I have the feeling of being a collateral damage. Thank you. – menjaraz Feb 02 '12 at 16:50

Shouldn't the question be then, where to download Qt? There is nothing Office-specific in Qt. – Lukáš Lalinský Feb 02 '12 at 17:50

MinGW32 is not recommended if you want to do COM/ActiveX. Use VS2008 or VS2010.
QAxObject is your friend.

Why not? [It's free](http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express). Why on earth would you develop ActiveX under MinGW32? – spraff Feb 06 '12 at 13:44

+1: I end up installing VS2010 Express and accept your answer. Thank you. – menjaraz Feb 12 '12 at 11:13

Here; you get MinGW separately, as well as any third-party component which integrates with Office.

Thank you for answering. I have already Qt 4.8.0 (with MingW32) and Qt Creator 2.4.0 on my box. My wish is to make them truly COM/ActiveX capable or find a binary distribution working out of the box. – menjaraz Feb 06 '12 at 13:17

Qt [integrates with ActiveX](http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qt-activex.html) although you'll get no help from MS going the other way. Dunno what you mean by "truly", they're entirely separate technologies. You might as well say "truly bittorrent capable". – spraff Feb 06 '12 at 13:40
