isn't there a Widget builder for Motif/X yet? Something like OCX (I believe on Windows95). [Last modified: Mar 96] Answer: David B. Lewis (dbl%craft@uunet.uu.net) writes: None that I know of. There are similar widgets available in Motif 2.0. There are similar widgets available in the ICS EnhancementPak. [For the second part of the question...] Because it's very hard to do. I don't know what OCX is, but I can't imagine that the technology is so much better than that used in Xt that it's possible to write something to generate real code. It's trivial, of course, to generate the framework for a widget given only its name, superclass, and resources; but everything else is real code.
