Both of these classes +provide useful static convenience functions. +<p> <center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0"> +<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">TQFileDialog::getOpenFileName() <td valign="top">replacement for the <em>Open</em> dialog +<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">TQFileDialog::getSaveFileName() <td valign="top">replacement for the <em>Save As</em> dialog +<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">TQMessageBox::information() <td valign="top">replacement for <em>Page Delete</em> dialog +<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">TQMessageBox::warning() <td valign="top">replacement for <em>IO Error</em> dialog. +</table></center> +<p> Each of these functions takes a <em>TQWidget *parent</em> argument. If we +pass zero as the <em>parent</em> argument, then we will have dialogs that +are centered on the screen, instead of being centered over our main +window. We can have <a href="qmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a> create our <tt>XmMainWindow</tt>, and we +can then use this class as the parent for both <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> dialogs and TQt +dialogs. +<p> We need to include the appropriate headers for TQMotifWidget and +<a href="qfiledialog.html">TQFileDialog</a> in <tt>todo.cpp</tt>. +<p> + +<pre></pre> +<p> Next, we make a few modifications to how the application is +initialized. We could initialize Xt/Motif and create the <tt>XtAppContext</tt> ourselves, but <a href="qmotif.html">TQMotif</a> can do this for us. +We also let <a href="qapplication.html">TQApplication</a> open the connection to the X server. Next, +we create a TQMotifWidget, passing <tt>xmMainWindowWidgetClass</tt> as the <em>widgetclass</em> argument. We can now use the <a href="qmotifwidget.html#motifWidget">TQMotifWidget::motifWidget</a>() +function to access the Motif widget. The shell widget is created +automatically by TQMotifWidget. We use <tt>XtParent()</tt> to access it. +The top-level window is now a TQMotifWidget, which means we can use it +as the parent for the TQt Standard Dialogs. +<p> <pre></pre> +<p> <h2> Replacing the <em>Open</em> and <em>Save As</em> Dialogs +</h2> +<a name="1"></a><p> First, we completely remove all use of the existing Motif file +selection dialog. We remove the <tt>Xm/FileSB.h</tt> include, the global <tt>file_dialog</tt> variable, and the code to create the dialog. We also +remove the <tt>PresentFDialog()</tt> callback function. None of this code +is needed to use <a href="qfiledialog.html">TQFileDialog</a>. +<p> After removing the <tt>PresentFDialog()</tt> callback function, we need to +make <em>Open</em> and <em>Save As</em> popup-menu callbacks call the <tt>Open()</tt> +and <tt>Save()</tt> functions. +<p> First we must change the declaration of these two functions. +<p> + +<p> <pre></pre> +<p> We also change the arguments to the callbacks. We pass the top-level +<a href="qmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a> as the <tt>client_data</tt> to these functions, since we will +be using it as the parent for the TQFileDialog. +<p> <pre></pre> +<p> <pre> + ... +</pre> + +<p> <pre></pre> +<p> Next, we modify the <tt>Save()</tt> function to use +<a href="qfiledialog.html#getSaveFileName">TQFileDialog::getSaveFileName</a>(). +<p> <pre></pre> +<p> ... and the <tt>Open()</tt> function to use <a href="qfiledialog.html#getOpenFileName">TQFileDialog::getOpenFileName</a>(). +<p> <pre></pre> +<p> After we build the project, the application runs and operates as +expected.
