[comp.windows.x] Setting keypad mode under DECWindows

mip@castle.ed.ac.uk (M I Parsons) (06/17/91)

I'm in the process of converting a large VWS/UIS based graphics application
to DECWindows. At the moment I'm trying to get the keyboard stuff to work
correctly. Unfortunately when I run my application it always comes up in
numeric keypad mode. This means I can't distinguish between the keypad and
the other numeric keys on the keyboard. I'm using XLookUpString and 
XKeysymToString to convert keypress events to ascii.

I thought of using SMG$SET_KEYPAD_MODE but I obviously don't know the virtual
keyboard identifier which X is using (if it is for that matter :-) ). Anyone
else had to do this?

BTW, setup: VAXstation 3100, VMS5.4-1, DECWindows.

Thanks in advance,
