Hi folks,
in about two weeks we have deadline for a new german
motif book.
It is based on Motif 1.0 and 1.1 and tries to give
readers many practical hints for programming with motif.
For some topics of the book i have some important questions
to the OSF and i think other people also interested
in answers.
So i really would be glad to get some answers to give
people on motif-talk and our readers proper informations.
First there are some questions that belong to the aspect that
motif breaks intrinsics technics:
1) Are there any plans to enable translation management again ?
It means, when will #augment and #override set from a resource
file work for every widget (should be easy i think) ?
2) Are there any plans to enable event propagation again ?
Second there are different questions about widgets and resources:
3) Are there any plans to remove gadget stuff or to give
programmers the chance to use motif without gadgets ?
4) Are there any plans to integrate a table widget or some
other widgets ?
5) Are there any plans for the XmText-Widget to have a
resource that toggles between replace and insert mode ?
6) Are there any plans for the XmDrawingArea-Widget to have
a resource for backing store ?
Last, not least:
7) When will motif 1.2 arrive and what will be important new
features ?
Please also mail answers direct to nico@bredex.uucp
Thank you very much
