<p> We need to add forward declarations for these callbacks before we can
use them.
<p><pre></pre>
<p> Each of the existing callback functions takes three arguments. We pass
<em>NULL</em> to all of the arguments in this example (with a few exceptions,
see below). The existing code does not rely on any of the arguments.
Each slot implementation is a single line calling the related callback
function. The code is not very interesting and would just take up
space, so we've omitted it.
<p> There are four exceptions to the above. The <tt>Open()</tt>, <tt>Save()</tt>, <tt>EditPage()</tt> and <tt>DeletePage()</tt> callbacks accept a pointer to the
<aname="2"></a><p> The next step is to use the new <em>Main Window</em> in our application.
The changes needed in <tt>todo.cpp</tt> are large due to the large amount of
code being removed.
<p> First, we add the include for our new <em>Main Window</em>.
<p>
<p><pre></pre>
<p> We can cleanup the Motif includes, since many of them are no longer
needed.
<p><pre></pre><pre></pre><pre></pre>
<p> The <tt>QuitAppl()</tt> and <tt>manageCB()</tt> callbacks are not needed any more,
so we remove them. We do not need the global <tt>shell</tt> variable
either. We remove it and all references to it in the <tt>New()</tt>, <tt>Save()</tt> and <tt>Open()</tt> callbacks.
<p> In <tt>main()</tt>, we make the large changes. First, we use our new <tt>MainWindow</tt> instead of <ahref="qmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a> with <tt>XmMainWindow</tt>.
<p>
<p><pre></pre>
<p> We will now use TQMotifWidget to create the <tt>XmNotebook</tt> widget.
<p><pre></pre>
<p> We remove all of the code used to create the Motif menus. The
remaining code in <tt>main()</tt> is self-explanatory.
