You will need version 1.2 or above. Version 2 should also be fine. Some people
|
|
|
|
|
have had a positive experience with <a href="www.lesstif.org" target=_top>Lesstif</a>,

|
|
|
a free Motif clone. (Note from Julian Smart - I use the Linux version of MetroLink Motif 1.2.4).

The following classes are not yet implemented: wxSpinButton, wxCheckListBox, wxJoyStick,
|
|
|
|
|
wxGLCanvas.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following classes are not likely to be implemented because there is no sensible
|
|
|
|
|
equivalent on Motif: wxMiniFrame, wxTaskBar.<P>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These features are not yet implemented:<P>

<li>Clipboard and drag and drop support are currently under development.

1999-01-19 06:00:22 -05:00
|
|
|
<li>Support for selection of specific visuals.
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Wide character support (but when Unicode is supported under Windows, this support will
|
|
|
|
|
be relatively easy to add).
|
|
|
|
|
<li>Configurable colour/font settings (they are currently hard-wired in wxSystemSettings).
|
1999-02-19 16:54:37 -05:00
|
|
|
<li>A help system (please use wxHelpController and Netscape instead). An HTML widget and help
|
|
|
|
|
system is in preparation.

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:<P>
