To Those Who Can Help Me, I am writing again in quest for help concerning how I can write multiple lines of text to a window widget. I am using the DEC's XUI widgets and want to display text, via the use of a file pointer, to the XUI window widget. I have found little in the manuals on this topic, and being a novice at using toolkit widgets lack experience. From what I have read I do not think the TextWidget or LabelWidget would fulfill my needs. I will take any suggestions on how I would be able to display text and/or where I may find literature on this subject.

The XUI window widget just provides a blank X window on which you can perform any Xlib functions. Some possibilities are XDrawText and XDrawImageText. Both of these just draw text at the coordinates you specify, with no wrapping or scrolling. If you want higher level functionality, you should look at the XUI text widget or consider writing your own widget. -- Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
