[comp.windows.x] Motif: how to move widget to negative coords?

tomt@maui.coral.COM (Tom Tulinsky) (07/04/90)

I would like to make a scrolling window which moves the large window
around so various parts of it are exposed.  My problem is that I can't
move the large window.  When I set the x and y resources, nothing happens.
The widget hierarchy is

XmForm 
   XmScrollingWindow
      XmScrollBar
      XmScrollBar
      XmDrawingArea      <--- this one won't move

or:
XmForm
   XmForm
      XmScrollBar
      XmScrollBar
      XmDrawingArea    --this is fixed size "viewport"
         XmDrawingArea     <-- won't move

Note that I have to set the x and y to NEGATIVE values to view the 
middle of the large window.  Is this illegal in Motif?

Config: Motif 1.0, MIT X11r4, Sun SS1 SunOS 4.0.3c
