	Hi,

	I am looking for source code to a widget. 
	I am not sure what it is called but it implements flow diagrams.
	It is not as limited as the arrow widget in Motif.
	It is alot more sophisticated. It resizes and scales itself implementing
	flow diagrams of which one can click or drag over and sub processes
	and/or functions take place.

	Does anyone know how I can find this widget?

	I heard it was lying around the public domain among the hp widget set?

	Thanks
	Ken

 Often you see interfaces
built with frame widgets enclosing some other group of widgets and a label on the
frame. This label is laid out ON the frame (neither above nor below) and it looks
very nice. I've tried positioning a label widget over the top left area of a
frame widget with no sucess. The label widget always gets truncated. Any ideas?

It's been a while since I've read this group.  Plear bear with me.

We are using applications built on OSF/Motif 1.1.4.  Is there or will there be
support for the TAB key in the text widget?  The kind of support I'm looking
at is basic: change it from standard (at least standard on my machine) 8 to
something else.

If there is support, how?  Through a resource?  Programatic?

I have seen a number of window manages which supports "virtual"
windows.  That is, a window manager which provides for a number of
workspaces greater than 1.  Examples of such window manages are vtwm,
ctwm, hp's vuewm, and I'm sure there are others.  

I would like to be able to get the features of a virtual window

Dan's book (Volume 6 of the O'Reilly Series (the one about Motif
programming)) is excellent.  It is useful as both a tutorial and
as a reference book.  I use it along with the Asente & Swick book
(sorry I don't know the titles offhand, but the titles are all
more or less the same anyhow :-) for my Motif programming.  Anyone
who is new to Motif programming should get Dan's book.  Anyone who
is serious about Motif programming should get both books.

I have also used UIL extensively on a commercial product.  It's
not worth the trouble.  It also is not always available on a
customer's machine (just because you have a Motif application
doesn't mean you have OSF/Motif utilities), so you cannot tell
customers or resellers that they can customize (localize) the
application by using UIL.  And UIL is just yet another language
to learn.  I'm getting tired of having to learn Yet Another Way
to do something.

WCL serves much the same function as UIL, only better (IMHO).
And it uses resources, which most of us have already got a clue
about.

Thanks for the books, Dan & Paul/Ralph!

not the ISC that is now Sunsoft, `cos I called them, several times.

At any rate, it's supposed to be a screen builder for Motif.  Any help

Tutorial: "INTRODUCTION TO MOTIF"

  John Wexler and Bob McGonigle
  Wednesday 28 October 1992, at the University of York.

This tutorial is a technical course, based on courseware developed at the
Computing Services of the University of Edinburgh, in conjunction with IXI
Ltd of Cambridge.  The tutorial is aimed at people who will program or port
applications to use Motif and X, or people who need to know how to do that
even if they will not be doing it themselves.  The prerequisites for the
course are familiarity with Unix, C programming and user experience of a
WIMP interface.

The tutorial will introduce the basic Motif concepts, and will describe the
details of callbacks and resources.  Basic widgets, such as MainWindow and
ScrolledList, and the use of PulldownMenus, will be covered.  A guide to
using the Motif documentation will also be given.  A practical to
illustrate these basic concepts will be run.  This is the first of two
Motif tutorials in the Eurographics programme. The second tutorial, BEYOND
THE MOTIF BASICS, will be held in early 1993, and will continue from the
first, covering further widgets, and mechanisms such as actions and
translations.

JOHN WEXLER works at the Edinburgh Regional Computing Centre. His special
interests are operating systems, concurrent systems, and software
engineering.  His is the author of "Concurrent Programming in occam 2".

Environment: Sun Sparcstation2 running SunOS 4.1.1, Quest Systems X11R4 and Motif 1.1.4

I would like a callback invoked when the user single selects a file in the file
list of a FileSelectionBox.  I was thinking about doing the following:
    1. Get a handle on the dialog list using 
        XmFileSelectionBoxGetChild ( w, XmDIALOG_LIST )
    2. Register a XmNsingleSelectionCallback on this DIALOG_LIST (XmList)

BUT, OSF Motif Programmer's reference for XmFileSelectionBoxGetChild (Pg 1-501)
states:
  "An application should not assume that the returned widget will be of any
   particular class."

Question:
  How do I register a singleSelectionCallback on the file list of a
  FileSelectionBox ?

  Can I assume that the child returned by XmDIALOG_LIST is an XmList widget?

Please respond by email.  I really need an answer to this soon.
Thank you.

a promptdialog with its XmNautoManage set to False and its 
XmDIALOG_SELECTION_LABEL and XmDIALOG_TEXT unmanaged. I've then created
three text widgets as the children of the promptdialog.
	The problem is, everytime I activate one of text widgets, the Ok
button also gets activated. I only want the callback procedure for 
the text widget to get activated without activating the OkCallback procedure.
	Any ideas anyone ?

Can anybody tell me why the following does not work - it is a resource file.

the x and y offsets do not work. 
The following code does work though:

motifed*text_area.background: red

The program is basically a ScrolledText Widget on a bulletin board.  If I set 
the offsets in my program it works but in a resource file it does not.

Also is it possible to restrict the size of a ScrolledText Widget to 80 chars.
I don't want the text to be wider than 80 columns.  I have set the number of
columns to be 80 but the Text just scrolls if I type more than 80 chars.

Thank you

Hello all.  I am using a text window to act as a "What Should I Do Next" box
in an application, so as the program moves from stage to stage I change the
text in the Text widget, and don't allow it to be edited, etc.

Well after doing this some number of times, the call to XmTextSetString 
suddenly crashes.  dbx says the crash is in a routine called Replace.
Has anyone else had this, and do you know how to fix it.  I call 
XmTextSetString several times successfully, once even with the same
text, so I know it is not a messed up widget id or address passing on my part.
I have even checked what is set every other time.  Nothing seems to work.
I don't have the source for Motif, so I don't know where in this Replace 
function it bombs, but if anyone has the source I could look at I would 
appreciate it.

I am running 1.1 on a MicroVAX III, under ULTRIX.

Here is what dbx has to say:

The first one is at FedUNIX in Washington DC the second

Topics to be discussed include the new Motif 1.2 features and
