[comp.sys.sun] List boxes in SunView

shapiro@germany.crd.ge.com (Neil Shapiro) (06/28/89)

I am porting a program from MS-Windows to SunView.  I need to use list-box
controls in my program (a list-box is what is used by the Macintosh and
MS-Windows environments to select filenames from a list, among other
uses).  Sun apparently does not support such an entity, and so I will have
to develop my own.

I would like to know if anyone has implemented list-boxes on the Sun, and
if they would be willing to share the code to implement it, or their ideas
on the best method of implementation.  

I know Frammaker has implemented list-boxes on the Sun.  It is surprising
that this important device is not part of the Sun toolkit.  SunView does
not really have any good mechanism to provide a lengthy, multiple choice
selection device.
