HELP! Message-ID: <2370002@wdl1.wdl.fac.com> Date: 28 Jul 90 07:27:40 GMT Lines: 79 The following program does not seem to work for me, and I don't know why. Currently, I am using vanilla Motif-1.0.a on a Sun/3 running 4.0.3 and R4 (yeah, I know...doesn't work with R3, either). I have also tried linking it with TELEUSE libraries, but the same problem still comes up. Please tell me, oh tell me do: 1) Is this program "wrong", or should it work? 2) Try it out, and tell me how it worked (please include your MOTIF/OS configuration). Of course, if you have the same {hard,soft}ware, and get the same problem, you don't have to bother writing. Mark Gerolimatos (gerolima@wdl34.wdl.fac.com) ---cut here--- #if 0 This here piece-o-code simply makes a main window with a command window containing a single button named "Booji Boy", and a text edit widget with (when necessary) a scrollbar. When the scrollbar is removed (by commenting out the line below...see the comments), this program looks fine. But, WITH the scrollbar, all hell breaks loose...the command window gets moved down a bit, colliding with the text edit window, and a cute mini scrollbar appears on the left side of where the stupid command window SHOULD BE. #endif 0 #include #include #include #include #include #include Widget toplevel, mainw, textw, scrollbar, command_window, button; main (argc,argv) int argc; char **argv; { Arg list[10]; int n; toplevel = XtInitialize("Burger Time", "Butter Ball", NULL,0,&argc,argv); n = 0; /* when argc > 1, don't include the scrollbar */ if(argc > 1) XtSetArg(list[n],XmNscrollingPolicy,XmAUTOMATIC);n++; mainw = XmCreateMainWindow(toplevel,"Billy Bob",list,n); n = 0; command_window = XmCreateForm(mainw,"Boffo Big",list,n); n = 0; button = XmCreatePushButton(command_window,"Booji Boy",list,n); n = 0; XtSetArg(list[n],XmNeditMode,XmMULTI_LINE_EDIT);n++; XtSetArg(list[n],XmNcolumns,80);n++; XtSetArg(list[n],XmNrows,24);n++; XtSetArg(list[n],XmNresizeHeight,True);n++; textw = XmCreateText(mainw,"Birming Ham",list,n); n = 0; scrollbar = XmCreateScrollBar(mainw,"Briga Doon",list,n); n = 0; XtSetArg(list[n],XmNworkWindow,textw);n++; XtSetArg(list[n],XmNcommandWindow,command_window);n++; XtSetValues(mainw,list,n); XtManageChild(mainw); XtManageChild(textw); XtManageChild(button); XtManageChild(command_window); XtManageChild(scrollbar); XtRealizeWidget(toplevel); XtMainLoop(toplevel); }
