<p> <!-- index Motif --><a name="Motif"></a>
<p> This module is part of the <a href="commercialeditions.html">TQt Enterprise
Edition</a> and is <em>not</em> part of the Free or Non-Commercial
Editions.
<p> <h2> Introduction
</h2>
<a name="1"></a><p> The TQt Motif Extension assists the migration of old Xt and Motif based
applications to the more comfortable TQt toolkit. This extension
replaces the older Xt/Motif Support Extension included with earlier
versions of TQt.
<p> The TQt Motif Extension consists of the following classes:
<p> <ul>
<li> <a href="tqmotif.html">TQMotif</a> - Provides the basis of the TQt Motif Extension.
<li> <a href="tqmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a> - Provides the <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> API for Motif widgets.
<li> <a href="tqmotifdialog.html">TQMotifDialog</a> - Provides the <a href="tqdialog.html">TQDialog</a> API for Motif dialogs.
<li> <a href="qxtwidget.html">TQXtWidget</a> - The Xt/Motif integration widget from the previous
Xt/Motif extension. This class is unsupported and has many known
problems and limitations. It is provided only to keep existing source
working; it should not be used in new code.
</ul>

<p> <h2> Common Problems
</h2>
<a name="2"></a><p> <h3> Incorrect CDE Color Scheme
</h3>
<a name="2-1"></a><p> <a href="tqmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a> and <a href="tqmotifdialog.html">TQMotifDialog</a> will use the same Visual, Colormap
and color depth that <a href="ntqapplication.html">TQApplication</a> uses. When using CDE, the color
scheme may be incorrect when using a Visual, Colormap and color depth
that is not the default. To work around this problem, add the
following resource string to your startup files (for example,
<tt>$HOME/.dt/sessions/current/dt.resources</tt>):
<p> <pre>
*userColorObj: false
</pre>
<p> <h3> X11 Header Conflicts
</h3>
<a name="2-2"></a><p> The X11 headers define some constants that conflict with the TQt
headers. The solution is to include all TQt headers first, followed by
headers from this extension, and all Xt/Motif and X11 headers last.
For example:
<p> <pre>
// TQt headers first
#include &lt;<a href="qapplication-h.html">ntqapplication.h</a>&gt;
#include &lt;<a href="tqpushbutton-h.html">tqpushbutton.h</a>&gt;
#include &lt;<a href="tqsocket-h.html">tqsocket.h</a>&gt;
...
// TQMotif* headers next
#include &lt;<a href="tqmotif-h.html">tqmotif.h</a>&gt;
#include &lt;<a href="tqmotifdialog-h.html">tqmotifdialog.h</a>&gt;
#include &lt;<a href="tqmotifwidget-h.html">tqmotifwidget.h</a>&gt;
// Xt/Motif and X11 headers last
#include &lt;X11/Xlib.h&gt;
#include &lt;Xt/Intrinsic.h&gt;
#include &lt;Xm/Xm.h&gt;
...
</pre>
<p> <h3> Multiple Screen Support
</h3>
<a name="2-3"></a><p> <a href="tqmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a> can be used together with <a href="tqdesktopwidget.html">TQDesktopWidget</a> to create
top-level windows on multiple screens. A common mistake is to create
a TQMotifWidget on a non-default screen while the Xt/Motif widgets are
created on the default screen. The solution is to specify the screen
to both TQMotifWidget and the Xt/Motif child. For example:
<p> <pre>
Display *dpy = TQMotif::<a href="tqmotif.html#x11Display">x11Display</a>();
Arg args[1];
// make sure both TQMotifWidget and the XmMainWindow are on screen 1
XtSetArg(args[0], XtNscreen, ScreenOfDisplay(dpy, 1));
<a href="tqmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a> *toplevel =
new <a href="tqmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a>(TQApplication::<a href="ntqapplication.html#desktop">desktop</a>()-&gt;screen(1),
xmMainWindowWidgetClass, args, 1, "mainwindow");
</pre>
