38 | You will need version 1.2 or above. Version 2 should also be fine. Some people | |
39 | have had a positive experience with <a href="www.lesstif.org" target=_top>Lesstif</a>, | |
0bc9b25e | 40 | a free Motif clone. (Note from Julian Smart - I use the Linux version of MetroLink Motif 1.2.4). |

46 | The following classes are not yet implemented: wxSpinButton, wxCheckListBox, wxJoyStick, | |
47 | wxGLCanvas.<P> | |
48 | ||
49 | The following classes are not likely to be implemented because there is no sensible | |
50 | equivalent on Motif: wxMiniFrame, wxTaskBar.<P> | |
51 | ||
ce3ed50d JS |
52 | These features are not yet implemented:<P> |
53 | ||
54 | <ul> | |
0bc9b25e | 55 | <li>Clipboard and drag and drop support are currently under development. |
ce3ed50d JS |
56 | <li>Support for selection of specific visuals. |
57 | <li>Wide character support (but when Unicode is supported under Windows, this support will | |
58 | be relatively easy to add). | |
59 | <li>Configurable colour/font settings (they are currently hard-wired in wxSystemSettings). | |
0bc9b25e JS |
60 | <li>A help system (please use wxHelpController and Netscape instead). An HTML widget and help |
61 | system is in preparation. | |

c6900c00 | 68 | Support for Dialog Editor is almost there, but there are some wrinkles to iron |
31523f51 | 69 | out. You may find it's useful though: compile it and see. |

74 | Very occasionally you can experience this glitch, probably because sometimes the | |
75 | window tries to resize and repaint itself before the final size is known. The workaround | |
76 | is to add code like this after window creation and initialization:<P> | |
