## Detailed Description

This class is defined in the Qt Xt/Motif Extension, which can be found in the `qt/extensions` directory. It is not included in the main Qt API.

The QXtWidget class allows mixing of Xt/Motif and Qt widgets.

QXtWidget acts as a bridge between Xt and Qt. For utilizing old Xt widgets, it can be a QWidget based on a Xt widget class. For including Qt widgets in an existing Xt/Motif application, it can be a special Xt widget class that is a QWidget. See the constructors for the different behaviors.

## Member Function Documentation

### QXtWidget::QXtWidget ( const char * name, Widget parent, bool managed = FALSE )

Constructs a QXtWidget of the special Xt widget class known as "QWidget" to the resource manager.

Use this constructor to utilize Qt widgets in an Xt/Motif application. The QXtWidget is a QWidget, so you can create subwidgets, layouts, etc. using Qt functionality.

The name is the object name passed to the QWidget constructor. The widget's parent is parent.

If the managed parameter is TRUE and parent in not null, XtManageChild it used to manage the child.

### QXtWidget::QXtWidget ( const char * name, WidgetClass widget_class, QWidget * parent = 0, ArgList args = 0, Cardinal num_args = 0, bool managed = FALSE )

Constructs a QXtWidget of the given widget_class called name.

Use this constructor to utilize Xt or Motif widgets in a Qt application. The QXtWidget looks and behaves like the Xt class, but can be used like any QWidget.

Note that Xt requires that the most top level Xt widget is a shell. This means, if parent is a QXtWidget, the widget_class can be of any kind. If there isn't a parent or the parent is just a normal QWidget, widget_class should be something like `topLevelShellWidgetClass`.

The arguments, args, num_args are passed on to XtCreateWidget.

If the managed parameter is TRUE and parent in not null, XtManageChild it used to manage the child.

### QXtWidget::~QXtWidget ()

Destructs the QXtWidget.

### bool QXtWidget::isActiveWindow () const

Different from QWidget::isActiveWindow()

### void QXtWidget::setActiveWindow ()`[virtual]`

Implement a degree of focus handling for Xt widgets.

Reimplemented from QWidget.

### bool QXtWidget::x11Event ( XEvent * e )`[virtual protected]`

Reimplemented to produce the Xt effect of getting focus when the mouse enters the widget. The event is passed in e.

This function is under development and is subject to change.

### Widget QXtWidget::xtWidget () const

Returns the Xt widget equivalent for the Qt widget.

Examples: mainlyMotif/editor.cpp and mainlyXt/editor.cpp.
