Gadgets Features

Look and Feel Management

  • The look and feel of Windows XP is now supported on platforms running Windows XP.

  • You can specify the look and feel at different levels: IlvGadget, IlvGadgetContainer, and IlvDisplay. This makes it possible to mix several look and feels in the same application. See the section "Gadgets Look and Feels" of the Gadgets User Manual for details.

  • It is now possible to create your own look and feel handler. See the section "Gadgets Look and Feels " of the Gadgets User Manual for details.

  • Existing Look and Feels (Motif, Windows 3.11, Windows95, and Windows XP) have been put in separate librairies. You may have to modify your makefiles in order to link your applications. See the Code Changes section Look and Feel Management for details.

IlvViewFrame

The look of the IlvViewFrame objects has changed for Motif to look like a Motif component.

Docking Panes

The look of the docking handles has changed. Now, a docking handle displays the title of its related pane. However, you can keep the old look by using the static function method IlvDockingHandlePane::UseDefaultHandlePanes.
