| | 36 | |
| | 37 | You will need version 1.2 or above. Version 2 should also be fine. Some people |
| | 38 | have had a positive experience with <a href="www.lesstif.org" target=_top>Lesstif</a>, |
| | 39 | a free Motif clone. (Note from Julian Smart - I use the Linux version of MetroLink Motif 1.2.4). |

| | 43 | <h3><a name="missing">What features are missing or partially implemented?</a></h3> |
| | 44 | |
| | 45 | The following classes are not yet implemented: wxSpinButton, wxCheckListBox, wxJoyStick, |
| | 46 | wxGLCanvas.<P> |
| | 47 | |
| | 48 | The following classes are not likely to be implemented because there is no sensible |
| | 49 | equivalent on Motif: wxMiniFrame, wxTaskBar.<P> |
| | 50 | |
| | 51 | These features are not yet implemented:<P> |
| | 52 | |
| | 53 | <ul> |
| | 54 | <li>Clipboard and drag and drop support are currently under development. |
| | 55 | <li>Support for selection of specific visuals. |
| | 56 | <li>Wide character support (but when Unicode is supported under Windows, this support will |
| | 57 | be relatively easy to add). |
| | 58 | <li>Configurable colour/font settings (they are currently hard-wired in wxSystemSettings). |
| | 59 | <li>A help system (please use wxHelpController and Netscape instead). An HTML widget and help |
| | 60 | system is in preparation. |
| | 61 | </ul> |

| | 65 | <h3><a name="refresh">Why are windows are not refreshed properly until I resize them?</a></h3> |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | Very occasionally you can experience this glitch, probably because sometimes the |
| | 68 | window tries to resize and repaint itself before the final size is known. The workaround |
| | 69 | is to add code like this after window creation and initialization:<P> |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | <PRE> |
| | 72 | #ifdef __WXMOTIF__ |
| | 73 | wxNoOptimize noOptimize; |
| | 74 | window->SetSize(-1, -1, w, h); |
| | 75 | #endif |
| | 76 | </PRE> |
