IXI Motif 1.2.2 Toolkit

The IXI Motif 1.2.2 toolkit, which was available for Solaris 2.3 software development, contains some incompatibilities with standard OSF/Motif 1.2.2. These features are not part of the OSF/Motif 1.2 specification, and are not present in the Solaris 2.4 and later Motif toolkits.

XmList convenience functions

The following are the nonstandard functions in IXI Motif. Remove them from your application code if you have used them:

• XmListRecolorItem()

• XmListRecolorPos()

• XmListSetClientDataPos()

• XmListSetClientDatasPos()

XmForm widget

The XmForm widget implementation in IXI Motif and OSF/Motif 1.2.2 are different, although the APIs are identical. Hence, applications linked with IXI Motif can exhibit minor behavioral or visual differences in the XmForm widget when they are re-linked with OSF/Motif.

The Solaris Motif toolkits use the OSF/Motif XmForm widget implementation, which is binary compatible with the OSF/Motif 1.2.2, but not the IXI Motif, XmForm widget.

Complex Text Layout (CTL) Support

Solaris 7 software supports the five new CTL widgets introduced by Motif 2.1. This is achieved by a single binary developed on the Solaris 7 operating environment that provides advanced and standard support for Hebrew, Arabic and Thai customers.

The following new Motif widgets are supported.

• XmNotebook is a full featured widget that provides functionality similar to a notebook or "tab" widget

• XmContainer is a full featured GUI icon "tree" display widget

• XmSpinBox is a user control to increase and decrease a numerical text field

• XmScale widget has changed to provide a new vertical display
