| | 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>, |
| | 30 | a free Motif clone. (Note from Julian Smart - I use the Linux version of MetroLink Motif 1.2.4). |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | <P> |
| | 33 | |
| | 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 | |
| | 42 | These features are not yet implemented:<P> |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | <ul> |
| | 45 | <li>Clipboard and drag and drop support are currently under development. |
| | 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). |
| | 50 | <li>A help system (please use wxHelpController and Netscape instead). An HTML widget and help |
| | 51 | system is in preparation. |
| | 52 | </ul> |

| | 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> |
| | 70 | |
| | 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> |
| | 83 | <P> |
