+[ <a href="motif-walkthrough.html">Home</a> ]
+[ <a href="motif-walkthrough-7.html">Next: Refactoring Existing Code</a> ]
+<p> After we have replaced all the dialogs, we are ready to begin replacing
+the <em>Main Window</em>. <a href="motif-walkthrough.html#4">As mentioned
+above</a>, we will replace the existing <tt>XmMainWindow</tt> and
+popup-menu heirarchy with <a href="application.html">TQt Main Window
+Classes</a>.
+<p> We will use <a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a> to design
+our new main window.
+<p> <h2> Implementing the <em>Main Window</em>
+</h2>
+<a name="1"></a><p> The description for the <em>Main Window</em> is saved as <tt>mainwindow.ui</tt>.
+We add this file to the project file and regenerate the <tt>Makefile</tt>.
+The <em>uic</em> utility generates the code for our <em>Main Window</em>, which
+is then compiled and linked into our application.
+<p> <em>TQt Designer</em> also created the <tt>mainwindow.ui.h</tt> file. We need to
+add the implementation for our <em>Main Window</em> to this skeleton
+implementation.
+<p> We begin by adding the necessary includes for <a href="qapplication.html">TQApplication</a>
+and <a href="qmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a>.
+<p>
+
+<p> <pre></pre>
+<p> We need includes for the <a href="motif-extension.html#Motif">Motif</a> callback structs and the <tt>XmdPrint</tt>
+widget.
+<p> <pre></pre><pre></pre>
+<p> We are now ready to add implementations for the slots in our <em>Main Window</em>. We have one slot per menu item. Each slot will call the
+existing callback functions found in <tt>todo.cpp</tt> and <tt>actions.cpp</tt>.
+<p> <center><table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" border="0">
+<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top" colspan="3" rowspan="1"> File menu
+<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">New <td valign="top"><tt>MainWindow::fileNew()</tt> <td valign="top">calls the <tt>New()</tt> callback

+<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Print <td valign="top"><tt>MainWindow::filePrint()</tt> <td valign="top">calls the <tt>ShowPrintDialog()</tt> callback
+<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">Exit <td valign="top"><tt>MainWindow::fileExit()</tt> <td valign="top">calls <a href="qapplication.html#tquit">TQApplication::tquit</a>()
+<tr bgcolor="#a2c511"> <th valign="top" colspan="3" rowspan="1"> Selected menu
+<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Properties <td valign="top"><tt>MainWindow::selProperties()</tt> <td valign="top">calls the <tt>EditPage()</tt> callback
+<tr bgcolor="#d0d0d0"> <td valign="top">New <td valign="top"><tt>MainWindow::selNewPage()</tt> <td valign="top">calls the <tt>NewPage()</tt> callback
+<tr bgcolor="#f0f0f0"> <td valign="top">Delete to Trash <td valign="top"><tt>MainWindow::selDeletePage()</tt> <td valign="top">calls the <tt>DeletePage()</tt> callback
+</table></center>
+<p> We need to add forward declarations for these callbacks before we can
+use them.
+<p> <pre></pre>
+<p> Each of the existing callback functions takes three arguments. We pass
+<em>NULL</em> to all of the arguments in this example (with a few exceptions,
+see below). The existing code does not rely on any of the arguments.
+Each slot implementation is a single line calling the related callback
+function. The code is not very interesting and would just take up
+space, so we've omitted it.
+<p> There are four exceptions to the above. The <tt>Open()</tt>, <tt>Save()</tt>, <tt>EditPage()</tt> and <tt>DeletePage()</tt> callbacks accept a pointer to the
+toplevel <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> as argument 2 (the <em>client_data</em> argument). For
+these four functions, we pass <em>this</em> as the second argument, which is
+a toplevel <tt>MainWindow</tt> derived from <a href="qmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a>.
+<p> <h2> Replacing the <em>Main Window</em>
+</h2>
+<a name="2"></a><p> The next step is to use the new <em>Main Window</em> in our application.
+The changes needed in <tt>todo.cpp</tt> are large due to the large amount of
+code being removed.
+<p> First, we add the include for our new <em>Main Window</em>.
+<p>
+
+<p> <pre></pre>
+<p> We can cleanup the Motif includes, since many of them are no longer
+needed.
+<p> <pre></pre><pre></pre><pre></pre>
+<p> The <tt>QuitAppl()</tt> and <tt>manageCB()</tt> callbacks are not needed any more,
+so we remove them. We do not need the global <tt>shell</tt> variable
+either. We remove it and all references to it in the <tt>New()</tt>, <tt>Save()</tt> and <tt>Open()</tt> callbacks.
+<p> In <tt>main()</tt>, we make the large changes. First, we use our new <tt>MainWindow</tt> instead of <a href="qmotifwidget.html">TQMotifWidget</a> with <tt>XmMainWindow</tt>.
+<p>
+
+<p> <pre></pre>
+<p> We will now use TQMotifWidget to create the <tt>XmNotebook</tt> widget.
+<p> <pre></pre>
+<p> We remove all of the code used to create the Motif menus. The
+remaining code in <tt>main()</tt> is self-explanatory.
+<p> <pre></pre>
+<p> Our application is now using <a href="qmainwindow.html">TQMainWindow</a> instead of <tt>XmMainWindow</tt>.
+After we build the project, the application runs and operates as
+expected.
