|
<p> <h2> Starting with <a href="tqmotif.html">TQMotif</a> and <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a>
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="1"></a><p> To be able to use TQt, we need to create a TQApplication object. The
|
|
|
|
|
TQApplication class controls all the event delivery and display
|
|
|
|
|
management for all other TQt objects and widgets. We need to use the
|
|
|
|
|
TQMotif class from the <em>TQt <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> Extension</em> to allow TQApplication
|
|
|
|
|
and the <tt>XtAppContext</tt> to coexist.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The TQApplication object must be created in the <tt>main()</tt> function.
|
|
|
|
|
We will need to modify <tt>todo.c</tt> to compile with a C++ compiler, so we
|
|
|
|
|
rename <tt>todo.c</tt> to <tt>todo.cpp</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Next, we add the appropriate includes for the TQMotif and TQApplication
|
|
|
|
|
classes.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<pre></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Next, we create the TQMotif and TQApplication objects. We create TQMotif
|
|
|
|
|
with a foreign <tt>XtAppContext</tt>, and we create TQApplication with a
|
|
|
|
|
foreign <tt>Display</tt>.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The next change is not yet necessary, but it is included to show that
|
|
|
|
|
the <em>TQt Motif Extension</em> provides a complete integration.
|
|
|
|
|
Normally, a Motif based program would use the <tt>XtAppMainLoop()</tt>
|
|
|
|
|
function to run the application's event loop. This is still possible,
|
|
|
|
|
but since we are migrating to the TQt toolkit, we prefer to use the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="ntqapplication.html#exec">TQApplication::exec</a>() function for running the event loop.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Since we renamed <tt>todo.c</tt> to <tt>todo.cpp</tt>, we must change the
|
|
|
|
|
project file and rerun <em>qmake</em> to regenerate our <tt>Makefile</tt>. When we
|
|
|
|
|
build our project, there are compile and link errors: we will fix
|
|
|
|
|
these in the following section.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <h2> Migrating to C++
|
|
|
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
<a name="2"></a><p> We need to convert the code in this file to proper C++ code.
|
|
|
|
|
Fortunately, the changes are not too large. Most files included from
|
|
|
|
|
existing C projects are not C++ compatible, so we make them compatible
|
|
|
|
|
by wrapping them in an <tt>extern "C"</tt> block.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> Global C functions that are forward declared must also be wrapped into
|
|
|
|
|
an <tt>extern "C"</tt> block.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The <tt>manageCB()</tt> function needs to be converted to proper C++.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> And we need to fix two invalid casts. One is in the <tt>Save()</tt> function.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The other invalid cast is in the <tt>Open()</tt> function.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <pre></pre>
|
|
|
|
|
<p> After these changes, the project compiles and links, and the
|
|
|
|
|
application runs and operates correctly.
