| 39 | <p> <h2> Introduction
|
|---|
| 40 | </h2>
|
|---|
| 41 | <a name="1"></a><p> The Qt Motif Extension assists the migration of old Xt and Motif based
|
|---|
| 42 | applications to the more comfortable Qt toolkit. This extension
|
|---|
| 43 | replaces the older Xt/Motif Support Extension included with earlier
|
|---|
| 44 | versions of Qt.
|
|---|
| 45 | <p> The Qt Motif Extension consists of the following classes:
|
|---|
| 46 | <p> <ul>
|
|---|
| 47 | <li> <a href="qmotif.html">QMotif</a> - Provides the basis of the Qt Motif Extension.
|
|---|
| 48 | <li> <a href="qmotifwidget.html">QMotifWidget</a> - Provides the <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a> API for Motif widgets.
|
|---|
| 49 | <li> <a href="qmotifdialog.html">QMotifDialog</a> - Provides the <a href="qdialog.html">QDialog</a> API for Motif dialogs.
|
|---|
| 50 | <li> <a href="qxtwidget.html">QXtWidget</a> - The Xt/Motif integration widget from the previous
|
|---|
| 51 | Xt/Motif extension. This class is unsupported and has many known
|
|---|
| 52 | problems and limitations. It is provided only to keep existing source
|
|---|
| 53 | working; it should not be used in new code.
|
|---|
| 54 | </ul>
|
|---|
| 55 | <p> <h3> Additional Documentation

|

| 62 | <p> <h2> Common Problems
|
|---|
| 63 | </h2>
|
|---|
| 64 | <a name="2"></a><p> <h3> Incorrect CDE Color Scheme
|
|---|
| 65 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 66 | <a name="2-1"></a><p> <a href="qmotifwidget.html">QMotifWidget</a> and <a href="qmotifdialog.html">QMotifDialog</a> will use the same Visual, Colormap
|
|---|
| 67 | and color depth that <a href="qapplication.html">QApplication</a> uses. When using CDE, the color
|
|---|
| 68 | scheme may be incorrect when using a Visual, Colormap and color depth
|
|---|
| 69 | that is not the default. To work around this problem, add the
|
|---|
| 70 | following resource string to your startup files (for example,
|
|---|
| 71 | <tt>$HOME/.dt/sessions/current/dt.resources</tt>):
|
|---|
| 72 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 73 | *userColorObj: false
|
|---|
| 74 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 75 |
|
|---|
| 76 | <p> <h3> X11 Header Conflicts
|
|---|
| 77 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 78 | <a name="2-2"></a><p> The X11 headers define some constants that conflict with the Qt
|
|---|
| 79 | headers. The solution is to include all Qt headers first, followed by
|
|---|
| 80 | headers from this extension, and all Xt/Motif and X11 headers last.
|
|---|
| 81 | For example:
|
|---|
| 82 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 83 | // Qt headers first
|
|---|
| 84 | #include <<a href="qapplication-h.html">qapplication.h</a>>
|
|---|
| 85 | #include <<a href="qpushbutton-h.html">qpushbutton.h</a>>
|
|---|
| 86 | #include <<a href="qsocket-h.html">qsocket.h</a>>
|
|---|
| 87 | ...
|
|---|
| 88 |
|
|---|
| 89 | // QMotif* headers next
|
|---|
| 90 | #include <<a href="qmotif-h.html">qmotif.h</a>>
|
|---|
| 91 | #include <<a href="qmotifdialog-h.html">qmotifdialog.h</a>>
|
|---|
| 92 | #include <<a href="qmotifwidget-h.html">qmotifwidget.h</a>>
|
|---|
| 93 |
|
|---|
| 94 | // Xt/Motif and X11 headers last
|
|---|
| 95 | #include <X11/Xlib.h>
|
|---|
| 96 | #include <Xt/Intrinsic.h>
|
|---|
| 97 | #include <Xm/Xm.h>
|
|---|
| 98 | ...
|
|---|
| 99 | </pre>
|
|---|
| 100 |
|
|---|
| 101 | <p> <h3> Multiple Screen Support
|
|---|
| 102 | </h3>
|
|---|
| 103 | <a name="2-3"></a><p> <a href="qmotifwidget.html">QMotifWidget</a> can be used together with <a href="qdesktopwidget.html">QDesktopWidget</a> to create
|
|---|
| 104 | top-level windows on multiple screens. A common mistake is to create
|
|---|
| 105 | a QMotifWidget on a non-default screen while the Xt/Motif widgets are
|
|---|
| 106 | created on the default screen. The solution is to specify the screen
|
|---|
| 107 | to both QMotifWidget and the Xt/Motif child. For example:
|
|---|
| 108 | <p> <pre>
|
|---|
| 109 | Display *dpy = QMotif::<a href="qmotif.html#x11Display">x11Display</a>();
|
|---|
| 110 | Arg args[1];
|
|---|
| 111 |
|
|---|
| 112 | // make sure both QMotifWidget and the XmMainWindow are on screen 1
|
|---|
| 113 | XtSetArg(args[0], XtNscreen, ScreenOfDisplay(dpy, 1));
|
|---|
| 114 | <a href="qmotifwidget.html">QMotifWidget</a> *toplevel =
|
|---|
| 115 | new <a href="qmotifwidget.html">QMotifWidget</a>(QApplication::<a href="qapplication.html#desktop">desktop</a>()->screen(1),
|
|---|
| 116 | xmMainWindowWidgetClass, args, 1, "mainwindow");
|
|---|
| 117 | </pre>

|---|
