| 26 | <h3>What version of Motif do I need?</h3> | |
| 27 | ||
| 28 | You will need version 1.2 or above. Version 2 should also be fine. Some people | |
| 29 | have had a positive experience with <a href="www.lesstif.org" target=_top>Lesstif</a>, | |
| 0bc9b25e | 30 | a free Motif clone. (Note from Julian Smart - I use the Linux version of MetroLink Motif 1.2.4). |

| 34 | <h3>What features are missing or partially implemented?</h3> | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | The following classes are not yet implemented: wxSpinButton, wxCheckListBox, wxJoyStick, | |
| 37 | wxGLCanvas.<P> | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | The following classes are not likely to be implemented because there is no sensible | |
| 40 | equivalent on Motif: wxMiniFrame, wxTaskBar.<P> | |
| 41 | ||
| ce3ed50d JS |
42 | These features are not yet implemented:<P> |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | <ul> | |
| 0bc9b25e | 45 | <li>Clipboard and drag and drop support are currently under development. |
| ce3ed50d JS |
46 | <li>Support for selection of specific visuals. |
| 47 | <li>Wide character support (but when Unicode is supported under Windows, this support will | |
| 48 | be relatively easy to add). | |
| 49 | <li>Configurable colour/font settings (they are currently hard-wired in wxSystemSettings). | |
| 0bc9b25e JS |
50 | <li>A help system (please use wxHelpController and Netscape instead). An HTML widget and help |
| 51 | system is in preparation. | |

| 56 | <h3>Does Dialog Editor work with wxWindows for Motif?</h3> | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | Suport for Dialog Editor is almost there, but there are some wrinkles to iron | |
| 59 | out. You may find it's useful though: compile it and see. | |
| 60 | <P> | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | <h3>How do I switch between debugging and release compilation modes?</h3> | |
| 63 | ||
| 64 | Unfortunately the makefile system doesn't currently allow you to compile | |
| 65 | for both simultaneously: you need | |
| 66 | to recompile wxWindows and your application having adjusted make.env. However, | |
| 67 | you could rename the binary and release library archives, and adjust your makefiles | |
| 68 | to use the appropriate one (or change a symbolic link). | |
| 69 | <P> | |

| 71 | <h3>Why are windows are not refreshed properly until I resize them?</h3> | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | Very occasionally you can experience this glitch, probably because sometimes the | |
| 74 | window tries to resize and repaint itself before the final size is known. The workaround | |
| 75 | is to add code like this after window creation and initialization:<P> | |
| 76 | ||
| 77 | <PRE> | |
| 78 | #ifdef __WXMOTIF__ | |
| 79 | wxNoOptimize noOptimize; | |
| 80 | window->SetSize(-1, -1, w, h); | |
| 81 | #endif | |
| 82 | </PRE> | |
