[comp.windows.x] Scrolling a dialog widget in Xt

jburney@gmuvax2.gmu.edu (Jeff Burney) (01/17/91)

Under Xt, can the text portion of a dialog widget be scrolled to the
right as a user types?

More Specifically:
This is not the same as adding a horizontal scrollbar (which I would
prefer not to do, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to make it
follow the cursor either).  The insertion point should follow the text
as typed (as is usual) until the right edge of the "text box" is reached.
At which time, the next character typed will appear to move all of the text
one character to the left off/out of the "text box".

I believe this is similar to a input window on a Mac.  If that helps the
explaination any.

Thanks in advance.
