[comp.windows.x] programmer extention to listWidget

lindholm@greve.ucs.ubc.ca (George Lindholm) (07/12/90)

I'm working on an application that needs something like the listWidget except
that I need to have more than one item hilighted at any time. Is it possible
for me to extend the listWidget or do I have to dig deeper into X?

One of the main purposes of the X Toolkit is allowing programmers to
extend the widget set through subclassing.  The X Toolkit Intrinsics
manual has details on how to do it.
