When I compose a dialog and generate the core classes with
IBuild, there comes almost always a compiler error:

WarningDialog-core.c: In method `class ivInteractor* 
                                 WarningDialog_core::Interior ()':
WarningDialog-core.c:102: conflicting types for `_BS_7'
WarningDialog-core.c:101: previous declaration of `_BS_7'

The corresponding code is:

Interactor*WarningDialog_core::Interior() {
    ButtonState* _BS_7 = state;
    WarningDialog_core_Button* _BS_7 = new WarningDialog_core_Button(0);
//etc...
}

The problem is solved when I delete the second declaration of _BS_7,
and everything works fine. But that is not a very good solution...

I suspect that some kind of setting concerning
the OK-Button and the ButtonState of the Dialog Box is conflicting,
but I have no idea what I have done wrong.

Can anybody help me?   Thanks,

The method you specify in the ButtonState information dialog will be
called whenever the ButtonState's value is modified (see p. 14 in the
user's guide).  What you're seeing is the effect of modifying the
ButtonState twice.

Pressing the pushbutton modifies the ButtonState the first time (to 1,
the pushbutton's setting value), which results in the first call to
entered().  But note that the code for the entered() method (p. 22)
sets the ButtonState's value back to 0 (to unhighlight the
pushbutton).  This second modification causes the second call to
entered().  The second call won't cause a second output of the string
because the entered() code checks for a nonzero ButtonState value.

I'm new to both InterViews and C++ and have build IV 3.1 with g++ on a
Dell SVR4 machine. Regretably this means that I havn't got any
debugger support for c++ since this is missing from the SVR4 version
of g++ :-(

I've been working through the tutorial in the ibuild users guide,
building the Namer example and have run into an irritating problem,
I've related the pushButton instance to the StringEditor instance and
filled in the rest of the Namer::entered() method, but when I run the
program and test it I find that I go through this method TWICE instead
of once, regardless of whether I've pressed return in the string field
or clicked on the entered button.

I've rebuilt this example twice now trying to see what I might have
done that differs from the guide and I've failed to come up with
anything. Can anyone shed any light on this for me, I'd dearly like to
get to grips with this.

With much excitement I ftp'ed the most recent version of interviews
from interviews.stanford.com, and then proceeded to untar it, and
attempted to build it. However, the make didn't do anything; it doesn't
seem to think any targets need to be updated. I have successfully
compiled previous versions, but was hoping to get the latest stuff working.

Here's the -complete- output of the build:

% make World XCONFIGDIR=/software/x11,dev/data/config

make depend

make -k all

InterViews build completed on Sun Jan 24 21:10:54 EST 1993



Has anyone had this experience?

Yup! It's a bug in HP cpp (in both, ansi and non-ansi versions) which they
promised to fix for the next release!

As a workaround you might want to use the ccp from the GNU gcc release.

This is what I use in  config/InterViews/local.def:

#undef CCDriver
#define CCDriver CC -tp,/usr/local/GNU/lib/gcc-lib/hp9k720/2.3.2/cpp -Wp,-lang-c++

This works for me!
Hope that helps!

Subject: Raster zooming problems
Date: 27 Jan 93 19:28:16 GMT
Article-I.D.: cs.C1J240.EMK.1
Organization: Carnegie Mellon University

I'm having a problem with zooming rasters.  I have a HUGE raster (aproximately 1200x1200, it's derived from a Digital Terrain Elevation Data map).  I put inside a nifty scrolling/zooming viewport that I've written and it scrolls nicely.

The raster also zooms nicely, albeit slowly, up to a point.  After expanding or shrinking too much, I run into problems.  Here's the symptoms:

Hit shrink button, wait for a year, nicely shrunk
Hit shrink button, go to lunch, yep, it's smaller
Hit shrink button, read net news, does OK
.
.
Hit shrink button, then immediately the raster is redrawn, same size, just offset.  

Taking a look at the code (xcanvas.c, tx_raster(), lines 845-950), it seems that after you zoom a raster, the resulting raster gets stored in a hash table, keyed by the transformation that put it there.  The problem I'm having seems to result from the fact that tx_key responds with the same key for the old and new transformation matrices.  The Table2 hash table doesn't seem to compare values, just keys, and thus, instead of generating the new raster for the shrunk map, tx_raster says, "great, I can use the




 previous raster and get a faster update."  So it quickly and efficiently returns the wrong raster.

This happens upon extreme enlargments as well.

I'm not completely sure this is the cause of my problems, but it fits the symptoms.  What can I do to change this?  Is it a bug or a feature?

Hi, I have an application that uses 3 FieldEditors's in the same
window. By doing somthing like this (my class is a subclass of
InputHandler ): 

  remove_all_input_handlers();
  append_input_handler(fedit1);
  append_input_handler(fedit2);
  append_input_handler(fedit3);

it looks like everything is ok. The tab key moves the cursor between
the fields, and mouse clicking also moves the cursor. The problem is
that I can only write to the field that have the mouse cursor above
it. What can I do to make all keyboard events go to the field editor
that have the cursor, regardless of where the mouse cursor is in the
window??

I would appreciate it if anybody could shed som light on this or give
me a pointer to an example that does this.

setup /n to create the user/machine specific win.ini etc. files and store them
on the fileserver also, but  in user specific directories.


QUESTION:   When a user logs on to a machine that they ordinarily do not 
(non-normal log on machine)  Windows crashes, as the machine expects 
its (its normal log onner's) ini files but gets the visitor log onner's ini 
files.  This crash cause makes sense, but is there some kind of workaround ?

Is there an elegant solution where all files are still on the server ?

And secondly, is there a good FTP site for NOVELL/Windows LAN stuff ?

The authorization code was completely re-written for OWv3 to be more
compatible with the X11 side and to provide a bit better security.
(It now supports the user@domain instead of just host level checking.)
The easiest way to add hosts now is to simply add an xhost or xauth
command to your .xinitrc, or to create an /etc/X*.hosts file. (where
* is the display number of the server)

It will have bug fixes...not major system interface changes.  "Porting"
would probably consist of writing /usr/openwin to tape and then reading
it back in on the new system.  I sincerely doubt that there will be any
real "porting" in the sense of code changes.

I fully support you in porting NeWS to Solaris.  I see the following as a
beautiful future for NeWS:

1. port NeWS3.1 to Solaris, making it multi-threaded and real time responsive.
2. use XIL/XGL as underpinnings so that port becomes a trivial thing between
   many suns and runs very fast.
3. Remove everything to do with X from the server.  It just slows things down.
4. Make sure Sun doesn't have NeWS.  It's too good for them.

Hmmm.  When xnews first came out, and news server started to get heavy
and lumbering, I reverse engineered my own v1.1 server.  This means
I have had a stable environment to work in for 5 years now, but it
also means that I'm a desktop misfit and can't use anyone else's
machines when I go to clients.  It's like having your own .emacs
file but never being able to take it with you:-)  Recent Adobe
interpreters are getting pretty fast... try it before you turn
your nose up at it.  Play with DPS on an SGI:-)

I am currently running Open Windows server from the network 
(let's call it machine N). Let's call my machine machine A.
We got recently a SparcStation 10 (lets's call it machine B)
which stands in our room.
On machine B, Open Windows has been installed on a local
disk. I suppose it would be faster for me if I run
OpenWindows from machine B than from our network machine N.
Is it so?
If so, then I think I have two possibilities and I would like
to know how to do it.
First: do not run the server on my machine and just
use the server on machine B and just display on my
machine. How do I have to do it? I mean, what parameters do I
have to set (DISPLAY etc.).
Second: run the server on my machine. Then I would like to
start the server from machine B, and not from machine N. How to
do it?

Also, If You think that this configuration can be improved?
