[comp.windows.x] MOTIF panedWindow and SelectionBox question

ramgopal@encore (T.T. Ramgopal) (01/04/90)

I have, I suppose two simple MOTIF questions.

First:
------
	I have a the following widget hierarchy

		   toplevelShell
			|
		      Frame
			|
		      Pane
		     /  |  \
		    /   |   \
	       text    form  form
                        |     |
		     MenuBar  MenuBar


	What I want, is to be able to manage and unmanage the text
widget and have the window shrink to fit. When the text window is unmanaged,
I want the overall window size to be reduced by that much. What currently
happens is, the text widget becomes invisible leaving a white space.
Also, if I add other child widgets to the pane widgets, I would like the
size of the window to grow and not shrink the widgets to fit them all within
the original window.
	Am I using the wrong set of widgets or is there some
parameters that I need to set to have this happen?

Second
------
	I haven't figured out how to use the SelectionBox. I would be grateful
if someone can send me a piece of code that uses it. I am not sure how
to set up XmNlistItems (of type XmStringList).

Thanks,
