As more and more professionals in the software industry gain experience in both object-oriented (OO) development and the graphical user interface (GUI), it has become clear that not only do GUI libraries have a number of advantages over other kinds of libraries, but they are also fun to work with! Using Motif with C++ provides step-by-step instructions on how to create a library for programming GUIs in the C++ programming language. Written for beginning or experienced Motif programmers, this book serves both as a tutorial for writing a portable Motif-based interface library in C++ and as a reference for enhancing and maintaining such software. This essential book introduces readers to the fundamental concepts required to use the Motif C language interface including the even driven input model, callbacks, event handlers, and widgets.
