I am trying to set the resources of a command widget from within the .Xdefaults file. The name of the application is "xg", the widget instance is called "hit", and this is what I have. xg*hit.width :300 xg*hit.height :200 xg*hit.x :950 xg*hit.y :650 This doesn't work - I'd still need to use the mouse to specify location and size of the window. BUT, if I change it to: xg*hit.width :300 xg*hit.height :200 xg*.x :950 xg*.y :650 it works!! i.e. no user interaction necessary. What is the correct string (instance/class name perhaps) that should be inserted between "xg" and "x"? Thanks in advance for any advice/comments! Isa

Recently, we have upgraded our Tektronix 4317 from X10 to X11R2. Since than, none of the applications (xterm, bitmap, ...) look at .Xdefaults. I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem, and if so how did you fixed it. thanks A. Sirjani asirjani@cs2.wsu.edu

I have a simple graphics program that plots points of lines.
However, when i run it I get this message:
X Toolkit Warning: Form: The reference widget was not found.
X Toolkit Warning: Form: The reference widget was not found.
despite the fact that I appear to have taken care of that in my .Xdefaults
file. the weird thing is I only get this message on the schools VAXes.
When i ported it over to my prof DEC3100 it worked fine placing the menus
at top and the canvas below. On the Vaxes, the menus overlap on the
canvas-I guess b/c they are not attached. Why is there the diffrence.
Below is part of the code, creating the widgets as well as the
relevant resource file.
thanks for any help

What is probabally happening is that the Form widget's string to widget converter is searching all children of the form for a widget named by your resource string, and that widget hasn't been created yet. For instance this would cause that problem: XtCreateWidget("number1", form...); XtCreateWidget("number2", form...); *number1*xRefName: number2 Since number2 has not been created when number1 is trying to convert its resources you end up with an error message.

I am running X on a HP400T workstation(8 plane color). See if /usr/lib/X11/sys.Xdefaults exists and copy it to .Xdefaults in your home directory. On my HP workstation (a 9000/360) it not only contains standard resource settings for programs like hpwm and hpterm but also templates for customizing this programs. >Thanks in advance, > DB Hope this helps. -- A.B. van Woerkom, adri@dutncp6.tudelft.nl Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Applied Physics, Physics Informatics Group, section Computational Physics, Lorentzweg 1, 2628 CJ DELFT, The Netherlands ________________________________________________________________________ "Unfortunately, the current generation of mail programs do not have checkers to see if the sender knows what he is talking about" (A.S.
