💖 QMotifWidget(3qt) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the QMotifWidget(3qt) manual page — yes, that's the manual name, it's giving very 3qt of it, we love that for us. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

QMotifWidget — the QWidget API for Xt/Motif widgets. that's the whole vibe. one class, bridging two worlds, main character energy fr fr 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie this class is part of the Qt Motif Extension, okay? not the regular stuff. say it with me:

#include <qmotifwidget.h>

Inherits QWidget. yes she's a QWidget girlie through and through 💅

🌸 Public Members

QMotifWidget ( QWidget * parent, WidgetClass widgetclass, ArgList args =
    NULL, Cardinal argcount = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags flags = 0 )
virtual ~QMotifWidget ()
Widget motifWidget () const

🌸 Protected Members

virtual bool x11Event ( XEvent * event )

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so. this class lives in the Qt Motif Extension, which you'll find chilling in the qt/extensions directory. it is not included in the main Qt API. she's niche, she's exclusive, she's lowkey underground iykyk 🙈

The QMotifWidget class provides the QWidget API for Xt/Motif widgets. that's literally her whole job and she ate 💅

QMotifWidget exists so you can have a QWidget that acts as a parent for any Xt/Motif widget. and because a QMotifWidget is a proper QWidget, you can use it as a top-level widget (like, 0 parent) or as a child of any other QWidget. iconic, flexible, we stan 🌈

Note: since QMotifWidget acts as a parent for Xt/Motif widgets, you should not create QWidgets with a QMotifWidget parent. don't do it bestie. that's not the move 🚫

An Xt/Motif widget with a top-level QMotifWidget parent can start using the standard Qt dialogs and custom QDialogs while keeping the main Xt/Motif interface of the application. and using a QMotifWidget as the parent for the various QDialogs makes sure that modality and stacking work properly across the entire application. slay ✨

Applications moving to Qt may have custom Xt/Motif widgets that'll take time to rewrite with Qt. such applications can use these custom widgets as QMotifWidget with QWidget parents — which lets the application's interface be replaced gradually. slow and steady, no pressure, we love a transition arc 🦋

Warning: QMotifWidget uses the X11 window ID of the Motif widget directly, instead of creating its own. because of this, QWidget::reparent() will not work. and yes, that includes QWidget::showFullScreen() and QWidget::showNormal(), which use QWidget::reparent(). so like... those are off the table. periodt 💀

✨ MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION ✨

🌸 QMotifWidget::QMotifWidget ( QWidget * parent, WidgetClass widgetclass, ArgList args = NULL, Cardinal argcount = 0, const char * name = 0, WFlags flags = 0 )

Creates a QMotifWidget of the given widgetclass as a child of parent, with the name name and widget flags flags. cute, simple, done 💖

The args and argcount arguments are passed on to XtCreateWidget.

The motifWidget() function returns the resulting Xt/Motif widget. and that widget can be used as a parent for any other Xt/Motif widget. she's a mother to them all 👑

If parent is a QMotifWidget, the Xt/Motif widget is created as a child of the parent's motifWidget(). If \ parent is 0 or a normal QWidget, the Xt/Motif widget is created as a child of a special TopLevelShell widget. Xt/Motif widgets can use this special TopLevelShell parent as the parent for existing Xt/Motif dialogs or QMotifDialogs. very demure, very mindful ✨

🌸 QMotifWidget::~QMotifWidget () [virtual]

Destroys the QMotifWidget. the special TopLevelShell is also destroyed, if it was created during construction. rip to the shell but we move on 🕊️

🌸 Widget QMotifWidget::motifWidget () const

Returns the embedded Xt/Motif widget. If a Shell widget was created by the constructor, you can access it with XtParent(). she's right there bestie, go get her 🫶
