Subject: OLIT textField and caption widget?
Organization: Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD
Distribution: comp.windows.open-look
Date: Tue, 22 Dec 1992 21:07:50 GMT


I have a textField that's a child of a caption,

a)  I could not get the XtNlabel resource of the caption using a
    call to XtGetValues().

b)  I set the XtNuserData resource of the textField widget and I
    could'nt retrieve the value using a call to XtGetValues().


Now am I missing something or does ver 3.0 of OLIT suffer from the
above.

Thanks
Raj

From what I remember about this:

The X11 libraries are either static (linked into the executable), or
are dynamic (loaded by the exectuable at runtime), with the dynamic
libraries being the default.  Oftentimes the upgrade of the libraries
will only result in new static libraries, leaving the dynamic libraries
out in the cold and unable to supply the new routines.  Hence, the
static libraries have to be specified.   


Hope that's right, but if not, this is somebody else pretending to be me.

I'm having no luck starting a process from a function key
under OpenWindows. Can anyone help me out? This is a trivial
exercise to be sure, under Motif, but apparently not so under
OpenWindows.
All I want to do is start a shell script by pressing a function
key. Is there a mechanism in OpenWindows by which keys can
be defined in a resource file similar to that in Motif.

Organization: HelioCentric Software

Even in OLIT 3.0 the Caption widget's insert/delete and change_managed
methods seems to be a little brain damaged.

For example, in Wcl the following works without warning (methinks you
should get an error because of the two kids).  But, when kid1 is
unmanaged and kid2 is managed, kid2 appears at 0,0, not at the correct
"captioned" position.  Don't know why the multi-kid error doesn't
occur.

Ori.wcChildren:				caption

*caption.wcCreate:			Caption
*caption.wcChildren:			kid1, kid2
*caption.label:				Caption

*kid1.wcCreate:				OblongButton
*kid1.select:				WcUnmanageCB(this), WcManageCB(*kid2)

*kid2.wcCreate:				OblongButton
*kid2.wcManaged:			False
*kid2.select:				WcUnmanageCB(this), WcManageCB(*kid1)

In the following, when kid1 is selected it is unmanaged, destroyed,
and then kid2 is created in it place.  This results in the _error_,
"OPEN LOOK Toolkit Error in application "Ori": The Caption widget
takes only one child".  

Ori.wcChildren:				caption

*caption.wcCreate:			Caption
*caption.wcChildren:			kid1
*caption.label:				Caption

*kid1.wcCreate:				OblongButton
*kid1.select:				WcUnmanageCB(this), WcDestroyCB(this)\
					WcCreateChildrenCB(*caption, kid2)

*kid2.wcCreate:				OblongButton
*kid2.wcManaged:			False

And, as posted in the previous message, the following works fine!

Ori.wcChildren:				caption

*caption.wcCreate:			Caption
*caption.wcChildren:			kid1, kid2
*caption.label:				Caption

*kid1.wcCreate:				OblongButton
*kid1.select:				WcDestroyCB(this), WcManageCB(*kid2)

*kid2.wcCreate:				OblongButton
*kid2.wcManaged:			False

IMHO the Caption widget should be able to have more than one kid and
the first _managed_ kid is the one that the Caption widget captions.
This would make the semantics of the Caption widget (and probably its
implementation) simpler.

One with the power of the source could reveal to us what is actually
going on inside the Caption widget.

I have now set something like this up, such that "cm" is an alias
to "rsh fileserver cm -display `hostname`$DISPLAY", and this does seem to work
fine, except that an xhost +/xhost - has to be part of the alias as well.
This seems a little kludgy, so I was wondering about your first idea:

How would you specify "name@localhost" where localhost is the fileserver?

: 
: The way we use cm here across the network is to have the rpc.cmsd process
: running on one server (does not need to run on clients) and then always
: accessing user@server for cm data. When a user starts up cm for the first
: time it runs a script of mine to create permissions that allow user at any
: host to create, delete appointments etc.
: 
: [...]

Again, how would "user@server" be accessed without actually rsh'ing over
to the server?  

Also, I've tried killing the rpc.cmsd process, but the next time that
cm is invoked, instead of trying to do something with the server, it
just restarts a new rpc.cmsd process.

: 
: Also you might find it useful to read SunExpert magazine (Oct/nov? I think)
: which has an article on setting up the calendar manager for network use and
: for other resources.

Unfortunately, I didn't even know of this magazine, so I'll now try to
subscribe to it.  Thanks.

Subject: HELP: olvwm3.3 exit shelltool when ctrl-c is pressed
Date: 29 Dec 92 11:48:03 GMT

Hello managers,

	I've been happily using olvwm 3.1 (Open Look Virtual Desktop Manager) 
for a long time. (Never felt any need to upgrade to rel. 3.2).

Suddenly, I'vw been urged to upgrade everything to an Italian environment 
(LC_LOCAL ,and all that stuff . . .).

As Rel 3.3 was available I passed through 3.2 and then to Rel. 3.3.

Everything went OK apart for a *VERY* annoying problem: (Existed in rel 3.2,too)

Whenever I press ctrl-c in a shelltool lauched from rootmenu, it exits and 
"hangs" any pending process running in the former shelltool to init.

That is furthermore annoying as when a new shelltool is started, it resumes the
process that was running before, with umpredictable results !

Note  that if the shelltool is launched from the rootmenu without the usual
"exec" word in front of it, the problem disappears.

I know, that is already a solution but:

a) I don't want to spoil one extra process for every shelltool;

b) It worked till yesterday in olvwm 3.1;

I would much appreciate any answer and of course, I will summarize.

Thanks in advance.

I am running Windows 3.1 on a 386 and suddenly have begun having trouble 
reading two floppy disks (either drive) in succession. For when I install 
the second diskette, it still reads the directory from the first. 
Thinking it might be the cache acting up, I discontinued all use of 
floppy/hard disk caching, but to no avail. I can no longer install 
software from within Windows. I think it probably has something to do 
with changeline support in Windows, but I am uncertain what steps to

I'm trying to hookup 2 BocaModem 14.4 modems using Procomm for Windows.
Are there any restrictions regarding setting up the serial port speeds
in Windows 3.1?  I'd like to use the v42bis compression/correction

rate.  Will this work properly or is it too fast for Windows 3.1 on a 386??

Also, I setup the com1 port using the control panel to 57600 by typing
this value in (it is not available from the speed selection list).  Is
it ok to do this?

Organization: Ball State University, Muncie, In - Univ. Computing Svc's

I have a Acros IBM 486 compatible.  While trying to install Norton Anti-Virus
and Acros Anti-Virus, I've run into a few problems.  The end result is that my
fixed disk is locked, and it won't boot.

The Norton Anti-Virus program installation was rough, and I finally gave up. 
It seems that a library it needs is stored in a ZIP archive on the disk, and is
not uncompressed and installed on the hard disk where it belongs.  I removed
the Norton Anti-Virus program.

Next, I ran the install utilitiy for the Acros Anti-Virus program.  It went
fine, but when I re-booted the machine, it notified me that the fixed disk
would be locked to prevent read/write while it booted and ran the virus
scanner.  If no virus' was found, it was supposed to unlock the fixed disk. 
Well, as soon as it says the fixed disk is locked, it clears the screen, and
the prompt just sits there, and a couple minutes later, it still hadn't done
anything.

It'd be thrilled just to remove the darn Acros Virus Scanner and take my
chances, or even get ZIP and unZIP the file I need for Norton Anti-Virus, but
as it is now, I can't even finish booting my computer.

I can boot from a floppy, but I want it to boot from the hard disk like it used
to.  Anyone have some suggestions?

E-mail would be best, because I don't keep up with these groups.

As long as you keep your video resolution down to the 640x480 level (or
get the windows accelerator chip on a video card for a higher display) it
will run reasonably quick.  As fast as DOS?  No.  But you will be running

Hmmm...well, hmm, I had problems setting up my Practical Peripherals 14.4
modem, mostly because my computer apparently doesn't have the chip that is
necessary for it to go high speed.  I can comfortably go 19,2 but if I 
try to go higher my computer just can't handle it and I lose characters like
crazy.  From what I understand there's some chip that I need to replace.

As for Procomm for Windows, all you need to do is select the proper drivers
and when you click the setup button, you should see 57,600 as an option.

Hope this helps.

I have a GUI-builder (X-Designer) for prototyping but for maintainability, I would prefer to use a programming toolkit for the production version.  The requirements are that it run on SGI Indigi under Irix 4.0+ (either 4Dwm or mwm) and it would be nice if it were object-oriented as we have already started the analysis using an object-oriented paradigm


  As for the language interface, we are considering gcc (we are at version 2.3.3) or AT&T's C++ Release 2.0 which is commercially available for these machines.  We are also looking at Modula-3 and its Trestle toolkit, but so far have this running only on a DECstation.  Has anyone ported this to Irix?

Sounds like a memory conflict.  First strip down your config.sys and
autoexec.bat to virtually nothing.  Then start by moving DOS to high
memory (especially watch the EMM386), adding back you TSR one by one,
etc. going back to windows after each change to test it.

Good luck--it's a pain!
