Subject: problems with the Table Widget
Date: 12 Aug 92 21:45:41 GMT
Distribution: inet
Organization: The Internet


Looking for programmatic examples using the Table widget. Currently I use
the XmpTable or XpTable Widget from Wcl 2.2. I do not use Wcl. I have the
following layout inside a dialog,

 --------------------------------
| table                          |
|                                |
|                                |
|  ----------------------------  |
| | table                      | |
| |  ------   ------   ------  | |
| | |button| |button| |button| | | 
| |  ------   ------   ------  | |
 --------------------------------

The initial layout and mapping of the dialog and its children occur correctly,
but when I try to resize the dialog I get a segmentation violation inside
XtResizeWidget.

#0  0x0 in ?? ()

where Geometry.c:376 is

	if ((mask & (CWWidth | CWHeight)) &&
	      XtClass(w)->core_class.resize != (XtWidgetProc) NULL)
	    (*(w->core.widget_class->core_class.resize))(w);

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Platform is X11R5PL16 either
Motif 1.2 or Athena.

If it doesn't have to be a widget, check out Apollo's Text Management Library.
It's available for ftp as TMLib from gatekeeper.dec.com, among other places.
The extended version, which may be available by now, includes extensive
hypertext capabilities, and both versions provide every concievable kind of
formatting and character-management facilities including rendering left/right,
right/left, up/down, down/up and bustrophedon, and both kits are fully
extensible for anything you feel was left out.  It's designed to work under
X and render into an X-window - a DrawArea will do.  You can attach your own
translations with minimal trouble.  Full documentation in PostScript format
including a Programmer's Reference and Guide are included (and are the bulk
of the distribution, last I looked.)  It's quality stuff.

Try this:

You might try replacing "-Dvax" with "-Dmips".  As I recall when I
tried it last, simply removing "-Dvax" caused something else to blow
up (e.g. you'll find mips-specific code in mit/server/include/servermd.h).

Actually, if you do get it to work, I'd be interested in seeing your
site.def & ultrix.cf files -- when I tried gcc 2.2.2, the server that
was ultimately produced was screwed up.

Good luck!

Date: 12 Aug 92 16:16:56 GMT
Organization: University of Koblenz, Germany


Hallo,

I am looking for a running X11 Release 5 Server for the monochrome
NeXTstation. I have tried the XServer from Paul Poh (Tufts University).
There are two compilerdefines for switching between colour and monochrome:

	-DNEXT_2BIT
	-DNEXT_16BIT

I have use NEXT_2BIT, but the server just says "no screens found". If I
start the Server with "Xnext -cc 4" some kind of garbage appears on the
screen. I have traced the problem down to the function "cfbCreateDefColormap".
This function fails and so the Server terminates.
Do I need any additional compilerdefines for the monochrome case ?
Is there anybody who can help me ?

Subject: Colormaps and OverrideRedirect windows
Organization: Lucid, Inc., Menlo Park, CA
Date: Tue, 18 Aug 92 21:46:04 GMT

I have a top-level OverrideRedirect window, and I would like to install
that window's colormap while it is on the screen.  I can't figure out
how to do this.

ICCCM says that only the window manager is supposed to call 
XInstallColormap().  If I call it, then the window manager (tvtwm)
immediately switches the colormap back to what it things it should be,
which seems to be a compliant thing for the WM to do.

So I guess I need to convince the WM that I am the "colormap-focus"
window, and that it should install it for me.  Well, I don't think I can
do that by just setting the keyboard focus on my window -- since it's an
override-redirect window, the WM doesn't really know it exists, and
won't have selected for Focus events on it, so it won't see the FocusIn.

This is for xscreensaver; I want the screensaver window to use a fresh
colormap so that the graphics hacks don't have to compete with other
applications for color resources (since the screensaver window covers
the whole screen, there's no need.)

Any suggestions are welcome.  It may be that there's no ICCCM-compliant 
way to do what I want, but I'd settle for something that's at least 
likely to work...

Subject: HELP! obscuring transient window with parent
Organization: University of Maryland
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 1992 21:23:38 GMT

I'm creating an application with one top level (main window).  Want
to have "property sheets" (semi-transient windows that set various
attributes or have frequently used functions) which are iconified with
the main application, can't be iconified on their own, but can be
obscurred by the main window.

  Here's what I've tried:

  Having property sheets as topLevelShells and setting MwmDecorations
  to try to keep from iconifying.  Problem: Window Manager
  (Openwindows 3.0) doesn't seem to acknowledge these.  Running Mwm isn't
  an option.  topLevelShells can be iconified separately from main window.

  Having a main window that is a topLevelShell child of a window that is
  not visible (placed off the screen) and having the transientShell dialogs
  as children of this invisible window.  This works, however, I have to
  add an event handler to know when the topLevelShell gets (de)iconified
  so that I can iconify the invisible main, which inturn iconifies the
  transientShell children.  Problem:  when iconify the transients, the
  window manager windows don't always get refreshed correctly.  Since the
  main window is iconified before the transients, when the transients get
  iconified the restore what had been under them (possible part of the main
  window) which isn't correct.  Also, if start application with -iconify,
  the invisible window is iconifed, but the main window isn't.  I get
  the XmNiconic attribute and try to set it for the main window, but it
  doesn't seem to work.  Since the real main is iconic, trying to iconify it
  has no affect, so it doesn't make transient children iconify.

  Any help about other possible solutions, or improvements on what I've 
already tried will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I was wondering if the author of Wcl (Mr. Smith I believe) would kindly make
available a patch to the Imakefile for his Wcl library.  In the contrib
distribution form, the xmkmf command produces Makefiles that crap out with
the error:

	"Make: Must be a separator on rules line 324.  Stop."

I need this to build aXe under R5 (is the author of aXe reading this?) and
it appears that none of the versions of the Wcl library code on export 
actually build ok.  Thanks in advance.

NB. Configuration is a DS5000/25, Ultrix 4.2a, R5pl16.
