Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Motif Transition Guide

Compatibility with Motif 2.1

The APIs of the DtSpinBox and DtComboBox widgets are similar to the Motif 2.1 release of XmSpinBox and XmComboBox widgets. The APIs are designed so an application can easily switch to the Motif 2.1 version of these widgets. The main thing you need to do to switch is to change the Dt names for the class, types, and creation routines to Xm.

This information is supplied in case you choose to port your application to Motif 2.1 but this is not a recommendation that you do so.


Note -

The Solaris CDE software does not guarantee strict API or binary compatibility between its widgets and the Motif 2.1 widgets.
