[comp.windows.x] Question about ActionTables with Athena Dialog Widget

guido@fermina.informatik.rwth-aachen.de (Guido Bunsen) (08/01/90)

Hello,

I tried for several days to write an application for X11R4PL9.

My problem is to end typing input into an Athena Dialog Widget just
by pressing the key RETURN or key TAB instead of pressing a mousebutton
in an command widget.

I tried that by using an action table (almost) exactly like Douglas
Young did in his book with the memo programm in chapter 2.4.5, pages 35ff.
The main difference is, that I use an athena dialog widget instead of an
HP static text widget.

Can anybody give me a short piece of code doing what I want?

Thank you very much.

Look at lines 346-353 of x11r4/lib/Xaw/TextPop.c for one way to
accomplish this.
