ABSTRACT:
A technique for supplanting the display of a Motif dialog box is disclosed. In a first aspect, the invention includes a method for supplanting a Motif dialog box. The method comprises interposing a functionality between a graphical interface of an application and an Xt Library layered on top an X-Window system; intercepting a function call from the graphical interface for a display of a Motif dialog box from the X-Window system; determining whether the Motif dialog box is to be supplanted; and supplanting the Motif dialog box. In a second aspect, the invention includes a computing system programmed to supplant a Motif dialog box. The computing system comprises an application including a graphical interface; an X-Window system; an Xt library layered on top the X-Window system; and an interposed library interposed between the graphical interface and the Xt library. The Xt Library includes an original function for calling a display of a Motif dialog box. The interposed library includes an interposed function for intercepting the call for the display of the Motif dialog box, determining whether the Motif dialog box is to be supplanted, and supplanting the Motif dialog box.
