Publisher's Synopsis
XView was developed by Sun Microsystems and is derived from Sun's proprietary programming toolkit, SunView. It is an easy-to-use object-oriented toolkit that provides an OPEN LOOK user interface for X applications.For XView Version 3, the major additions are:
- Internationalization support for XView programs.
- A new Drag and Drop package that lets the user transfer data between applications by dragging an interface object to a region.
- A mouseless input model that means XView applications can be controlled from the keyboard without a mouse. Soft function keys are also supported.
- The Notices package has been completely rewritten to incorporate Notice objects.
- The Selection package has been rewritten, replacing the SunView- style selection service.
- New panel items such as multiline text items and drop target items have been included. The Panels chapter has been reworked to clarify and simplify panel usage.
