Now that openMotif can be built using autoconf, and toolTips have been added, it`s time for the next step. Is anyone out there interested in integrating editres support into openMotif???
The toolTip branch in CVS already links in Xmu, if it can be found. However some very usefull features do not work with openMotif. Select widget in client is one of the features. This function is broken with openMotif because the XmVendorShell lies about the position of it`s child. Another feature that does not work is the GetValues feature. This is mainly because of incomplete support in Xmu, but also because openMotif lacks the necessary something to String converters. Both of these features are nice to have, and fairly simple to overcome. I already have the code in my tree, with the exception of the converters, but if the response is as limited as the reponse to toolTips it won`t make it any further.
I still see alot of complaints, but I don`t see alot of support for improving the situation!!!!
Sounds good, but before you do this, you should check the Editres work that has been done recently. There`s an article about Editres2 in the hardcopy version of The Motif Developer, on http//www.motifzone.com/tmd/articles/ .
Have you tried this link recently. I get no response from the motifzone. If you replace the www.motifzone.com with openmotif.org, you get some wacko page that makes me think the site has been hacked. I think I know of the article, although I haven`t been able to find a decent link to it lately.....
We moved some articles around and only made the more relevant ones linked on the front page. We left the old motifzone.com/tmd there because was a lot of links to it. Looks like we should move the editres articles over too.
Believe it or not, the 404 page is us (I`ve asked Damian to make that clear by putting a link to the motifzone there). The cartoon characters are from www.radiskull.com. We`re fans here of that series (hence the name of the webserver being radiskull...)
