[Qt-interest] Motif and QT

[phil prentice]

Hi

  I have a number of old applications that use Motif and make calls to 
functions like XCreateSimpleWindow(....) and XDefineCursor(..) etc etc etc.

  I would very much like to be able to move these applications over to QT.  I 
have written new QT GUI's from scratch but have not looked at moving whats 
already there over.  Some of these applications I would re-write from scratch 
ripping off the code as necessary.  However some of them are very big and it 
would be nice if I could somehow think about the possibility of substituting 
these functions with QT equivalents and so replace the lower level interface 
from X/motif to QT.  There are many reasons why I would want to do this.  Is 
what I am asking fairly possible or should I be looking at some other better 
method?  I have not even began to think about how I would introduce these QT 
objects into my C code..but thats another story(use new to create them 
somehow or whatever).

  By the way I know that QT does provide a motif extension, which I have not 
looked at yet...but for a number of reasons I am initially wondering if there 
is any point in me considering trapping the calls myself.

Thank you for all your help
  Phil
