Background : I am using Motif 1.1 and I need a window with 2 text edit widgets. One widget is MULTI_LINE_EDIT mode and the other one is a SINGLE_LINE_EDIT mode. Both text widgets must be able to trap the TAB key and insert spaces to the next tab stop. Tab stops may be set up at any column position (not necessarily at every "x" positions). The way Motif handles the TAB key normally for a SINGLE_LINE_EDIT widget is that it goes to the next TAB group. For a MULTI_LINE_EDIT text widget the TAB key tabs over a specific amount of spaces. Questions : 1. Can I change the translation procedure for the TAB key for each of the individual text widgets? If so, how? 2. Is there a way to set specific column positions as TAB stops in the text widget? If so, how? Thanks, Julie Whitson Please send replies to : uunet!melpar!whitson
