I am using X11R4 under SunOs 4.1. In a program that uses Xlib only, I call XrmGetResource. I have already initialized the resource manager stuff and made a call to get the string data base. What do I specify for the name and class for a value like Word*speller*geometry. 'Word' is the general group of applications, 'speller' is the actual application, and geometry, well you know... I have tryed using the above string for the str_name, and both the above string and NULL for the str_class. I still don't get the proper value returned. Any help would greatly be appreciated. +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Bill Poitras | Polygen Corporation | {princeton mit-eddie | | (bill) | Waltham, MA USA | bu sunne}!polygen!bill | | | | bill@polygen.com | +-----------------+---------------------------+-----------------------------+

To understand the specification of the second and third parameters of XrmGetResource(), you can read section 10.11 "Using the Resource Manager" of the Xlib reference manual. I think that you are asking: "How do I specify the fully qualified name and class of my application's geometry resource? The application class name is 'Word' and the application instance name is 'speller'. The instance name of the geometry resource is 'geometry'." The likely answer is that the name is "speller.geometry" and the class is "Word.Geometry". > I have tryed using the above string for the str_name, and both > the above string and NULL for the str_class.
