Can someone help me resolve the following ambiguities in the Xt Intrinics specification? All of them have to do with modal input features (e.g. XtAddGrab, etc.). 1. What happens to an extraneous remap event when there is no active spring-loaded widget? 2. What happens to ignored events? Are they really dumped without warning? 3. Exactly what are the "user" events mentioned in sec. 10.4, XtAddGrab? 4. What happens to an event addressed to a child of an active widget, when the child itself is *not* among the active subset? Ignored?

(1) Is a list of the widgets in the standard distribution available somewhere? It would seem that that is the first thing a programmer (me, at least) would want to know -- what has already been written. Poking through the include files unearths some useful information, but I don't feel confident that I won't overlook something. (2) Are the standard arguments available as a macro or variable? (3) Is the R4 Toolkit manual going to have an index? (i.e., I'm putting in a request that it does!) karl@umb.edu

What do you mean by "the standard distribution"? For the MIT X11R3
distribution, most of the contents of lib/Xaw are documented in
doc/Xaw. Some of the less general-purpose widgets (e.g. Clock, Load)
are only documented in the header files, so...
Poking
through the include files unearths some useful information
and is a perfectly reasonable thing to do, particularly w.r.t. the
public header files.
but I don't
feel confident that I won't overlook something.
Well, we've tried hard to make both the documentation and the
comments in the public header file reflect reality. The resources
documented in the header files should be accurate.
(2) Are the standard arguments available as a macro or variable?
Not sure what you mean. StringDefs.h defines all XtN..., XtC...,
XtR... as macros.
(3) Is the R4 Toolkit manual going to have an index? (i.e., I'm putting
in a request that it does!)
I certainly plan so. The R3 distribution contained an an index, too
(and the Makefile to build it from the doc sources). My condolences
if you've been working without it; it's most definitely available...
