I remeber having trouble setting up exceed here with PC/TCP 2.05.  I found that
if I had the kernel or in fact any of the PC/TCP stuff loaded high that eXceed
wouldnt work. So check your config.sys and autoexec.

Also, If you havent tried it take a look at PC-Xview.  For me it worked a lot
better with PC/TCP and I liked the interface better (just my observations). 
Call NCD X division and they will send you a demo disk.

Have Fun,

  Hi everybody,

Could you answer me this question, please :
( I use Motif )

 I've some windows managed by my application.These windows aren't in
iconic state. Because I hate overlapping of windows ( and for some other
good reasons), I wish to shuffle up one of these windows from my 
application... so give the focus to a window and not to a compound of a
window already focused with the mouse.

 The only way I found was to XtPopdown(window) and then XtPopup(the same
window) but it's not really good.(It's like lights on a Christmas Tree).

 By the way I wish to do the same thing with a non window application like
the xterm window where I called my application.

 And last thing, I wish to see my main applictaion window shuffle up
when I press the F1-key.


Thanx.

email : jcury@is1.vub.ac.be.
or    : jcu@dec5.ulb.ac.be.

Bye bye.

Subject: No way to simulate button and key events??
Organization: PCS Computer Systems, GmbH
Distribution: comp
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1993 08:44:02 GMT


I'm looking for a way to write a client, that generates key and button events
and send these through the server to the appropriate window(s) and client(s).
These "synthetic" events should be distributed just like every other
"normal" event, which was generated through some user action at a keyboard or
with the mouse. They should be distributed with regard to InputFocus,
event propagation rules and active/passive grabs.

To generate the synthetic events with XSendEvent does NOT work because

    - the contents of the event structure is not changed by the server,
      with one exception - the send_event flag, which is set to True. 
      ==> There is no help to fill in the elements of the event structure.
          The problem is to find the destination window(s).

    - the propagate flag in the XSendEvent call is ignored, despite the 
      documentation says the server will distribute the event according the
      event propagation rules, if the flag is set True.
      ==> The propagation has to be done by the client with a lot of calls
          like XGetWindowAttributes(), XGetInputFocus(), ...

    - it ignores grabs. There is no way to get information from the
      server about any grabs in effect.
      ==> There is no way to find out, if some client has grapped some keys
          or buttons. 

There is no problem with the server setting the send_event flag, so every
client which doesn't like "synthetic" events can dischard them.
The main problem, which cannot be solved is the missing information
about grabs.

Did I miss something? 
Anybody likes to comment? Hints to solve the problem?


Thanks a lot

Simple? Hmmm... I released a package of functions called `xvertext' to
comp.sources.misc a while back, which let you do vertical and upside down
text. It's as simple as I can make it!

WHAT IS FWF?
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Free Widget Foundation (FWF) commenced in the summer of 1990.  We
began as an ad hoc, volunteer effort, to generate a publically
accessible repository for X graphical user-interface modules
(widgets).  Over time, many people have contributed widgets of varying
degrees of complexity, and having application across a wide range of
program domains.  

The 'Free Widget Foundation' is an obvious play on the 'Free Software
Foundation', but we are not related to that organization in any way,
apart from sharing the goal of having high-quality software available
to the public at no cost.  

JOINING FWF
~~~~~~~~~~~
The success of this project depends solely on the work of the FWF volunteers.  
Help us to develop the best, least expensive widget set for the X community!
Joining the FWF is simple. Just send mail to,

free-widgets-request@kazoo.cs.uiuc.edu

WHAT WIDGETS ARE AVAILABLE?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FileSelector,Histogram, ImageSelector, MultiList, PixelEditor, Rheostat, 
ScrolledList, Slider are some of the widgets available in our growing
collection.

HOW TO GET OUR WIDGETS?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The latest version (3.4) of the FWF widget library can be obtained via 
anonymous ftp from, 

a.cs.uiuc.edu(128.174.252.1):pub/fwf.shar.Z 
ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de:/pub/comp/X11/contrib/lib/fwf/fwf.tar.Z
(131.159.0.110)

You can also send E-mail to,

ftp-mailer@ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de 

with the command, 'GET /pub/comp/X11/contrib/lib/fwf/fwf.tar.Z' in the body of 
the message. FWF widgets are also available on the ICS "Widget Databook" CD ROM.

CURRENT WORK
~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are  trying to construct a much-improved, much-extended version (4.0) of the
free widget set. This version is tentatively scheduled for relase by the end of April,1993. You know where to find it then!!

If you like the Free Widgets concept, please tell other people about it. 
We can't save people any effort if they don't know about us!

Hi,

	I have been fiddling with Xlib and have come across an
exasperating problem.  I create a GC, a Pixmap and a Window do some
drawing and then sit in an event loop.  After some heartache I have
determined that when I draw into the Pixmap and XCopyPlane to the
Window in the Expose event handler I get inverse video.  If I draw
straight to the Window it comes out OK.  The only thing to note is
that BlackPixel returns 0 and WhitePixel returns 1, though that
shouldn't make a difference.

	On a Sun its fine, its my B&W NCD(*) that is giving me some
grief.  Is there something I'm missing?  Any obvious faults?

(*) On a colour NCD its doesn't like XTextExtents - another problem...

xwd will dump the entire screen if you use the "-root" option.
Unfortunately it will assume that the entire screen is of the
same visual and colormap as the root window, which may or may
not be the case.

well, the man page is not really clear, but sort of implies that you
can actually use the class name of the application in IconManagerDontShow{}.

i use that e.g.

IconManagerDontShow {
	"XTerm"
}

and it works fine for me (although i am running vtwm, it should be the
same). so, as long as the class name for that window did not change,
it should not be displayed.

try defining this alias in your .cshrc file:

	alias nameme 'echo -n "]2;\!:1]1;\!:2"'

where the two "^[" are ESCape characters, and the two "^G" are control-G
characters (if using emacs, type control-q before the escape and control-G
characters; if typing this straight into xterm window use control-v instead
of control-q).

To rename your xterm, just type    

	nameme "title name" "icon name"

Cheers,
Michael.

Subject: Local clients (Xkernel, Xterminals)
Organization: U of Cambridge, England
Distribution: comp
Date: Wed, 27 Jan 1993 16:51:24 GMT


I've just been talking to Tektronix about their new server code for
their Xterminals which now supports local clients like MWM or OLWM so
that the network local is reduced on networks of Xtermianls.  The
salesman suggested that all Tek Xterminals really run a cutdown Unix
like system really with the Xserver as one client which is how it all
works.  Now in our department we run a large number of Sun3s (50s and
60s), as Xterminals using Xkernel.  I pointed this out to the Tek
salesman and he seemed quite surprised.

He also told me that Tek would not tell me the way that local clients
worked at the moment (he didn't know I think), but that the MWM and
OLWM were the real window managers.  It occurs to me that I can do the
same job on Xkernel by rigging OLWM or TWM or whatever to be started
on the Xterminal after it has started up, and get it to communicate
with a stub window manager on the host you would normally run the
window manager on whenever it needs to read the config file or start
up a process (low network stuff.)  The best way to achieve this would
probably be a server extention (thanks Tim), so that the stub program
can instruct the server on the Xterminal to start a local client and
set up communications with it.  I don't mind this beign completely
incompatible with the system that Tek use since they don't want to
tell me theirs, (and writing more local clients for their terminals
could be hard.)  Before I go away and look hard at the Xtensions stuff
has anyone else tried this?  Does anyone know good ways to go about
it?  Will it be in X11R6 anyway? (or is it X12R1 next?)

Any information would be welcome.

Please mail me in preference and I'll summarise (to reduce bandwidth
wasted.)
