Adding Custom Widgets

I have an old application that I’m porting from Photon 1.12 to 1.14.

We have a custom widget that was developed years ago. There are two files
called XYZ_widgets.pal and XYZ_widgets.wgtp.

How do I go about “installing” these widgets into Photon 1.14?

Presumably all of the work of creating the widget’s is already done.

I found this on my own.

For anyone else looking for the answer there are two steps.

  1. copy the files .pal and .wgtp to the /qnx4/phtk/appbuilder directory.
  2. in that same directory edit the pallet.def file and include a line like:
    p=name,description
