[comp.windows.x] X/Motif question

I have a Motif programming question that maybe someone can answer:

When posting a message box or file selection box (XtManageChild), is
there a way to synchronously get the reply or callback info (ie, a 
button press or file selection) without having to use a callback 
routine?  I'm converting code which was not designed for asynchronous
operation and it would be very complicated to have to use callbacks.

If there's no way around callback routines, is it feasable to fork the
XtManageChild and somehow have a child process post the box and handle
the callback?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Please send replies directly to me at: dstewart@dlvax3.dallas.rockwell.com.

Thanks,
