| 36 | You will need version 1.2 or above. Version 2 should also be fine. Some people | |
| 37 | have had a positive experience with <a href="www.lesstif.org" target=_top>Lesstif</a>, | |
| 0bc9b25e | 38 | a free Motif clone. (Note from Julian Smart - I use the Linux version of MetroLink Motif 1.2.4). |

| 44 | The following classes are not yet implemented: wxSpinButton, wxCheckListBox, wxJoyStick, | |
| 45 | wxGLCanvas.<P> | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | The following classes are not likely to be implemented because there is no sensible | |
| 48 | equivalent on Motif: wxMiniFrame, wxTaskBar.<P> | |
| 49 | ||
| ce3ed50d JS |
50 | These features are not yet implemented:<P> |
| 51 | ||
| 52 | <ul> | |
| 0bc9b25e | 53 | <li>Clipboard and drag and drop support are currently under development. |
| ce3ed50d JS |
54 | <li>Support for selection of specific visuals. |
| 55 | <li>Wide character support (but when Unicode is supported under Windows, this support will | |
| 56 | be relatively easy to add). | |
| 57 | <li>Configurable colour/font settings (they are currently hard-wired in wxSystemSettings). | |
| 0bc9b25e JS |
58 | <li>A help system (please use wxHelpController and Netscape instead). An HTML widget and help |
| 59 | system is in preparation. | |

65 | |
| 66 | Suport for Dialog Editor is almost there, but there are some wrinkles to iron | |
| 31523f51 | 67 | out. You may find it's useful though: compile it and see. |

71 | |
| 72 | Very occasionally you can experience this glitch, probably because sometimes the | |
| 73 | window tries to resize and repaint itself before the final size is known. The workaround | |
| 74 | is to add code like this after window creation and initialization:<P> | |
