- -See also top-level FAQ page. -

- -

What version of Motif do I need?

- -You will need version 1.2 or above. Version 2 should also be fine. Some people -have had a positive experience with Lesstif, -a free Motif clone. (Note from Julian Smart - I use the Linux version of MetroLink Motif). - -

- -

What features are missing or partially implemented?

- -The following classes are not yet implemented: wxSpinButton, wxCheckListBox, wxJoyStick, -wxGLCanvas.

- -The following classes are not likely to be implemented because there is no sensible -equivalent on Motif: wxMiniFrame, wxTaskBar.

- -wxNotebook works for smaller dialogs (see notebook sample) but has some problems -with a more complex situation (see the controls sample: initial resizing is very apparent). -

- -These features are not yet implemented:

- -

Clipboard and drag and drop support are currently under development. Motif clipboard support -should work, but currently for text only. -
Support for selection of specific visuals. -
Wide character support (but when Unicode is supported under Windows, this support will -be relatively easy to add). -
Configurable colour/font settings (they are currently hard-wired in wxSystemSettings). -
OnEraseBackground. -
OnPaint optimization and backing pixmap. -
A help system (please use wxHelpController and Netscape instead). -

- -

Does Dialog Editor work with wxWindows for Motif?

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

- -

How do I switch between debugging and release compilation modes?

- -Unfortunately the makefile system doesn't currently allow you to compile -for both simultaneously: you need -to recompile wxWindows and your application having adjusted make.env. However, -you could rename the binary and release library archives, and adjust your makefiles -to use the appropriate one (or change a symbolic link). -

- -

Why are windows are not refreshed properly until I resize them?

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

- -

-#ifdef __WXMOTIF__
-  wxNoOptimize noOptimize;
-  window->SetSize(-1, -1, w, h);
-#endif
-
