This is probably a beginners question, but I'll ask anyway. I am writing a program that generates a pop-up menu with scrolling features. I have created a window and set it up so that whenever the user clicks in the window, the menu will "pop-up" centered at the x,y location on the screen. The menu is comprised of several subwindows, one for the body, one for each of the available selections and one for each of the scrolling functions. THe problem is that once I click on the main window, the menu is draw, but I can't see it on the screen. I know that the X server does it's drawing asynchronously, but I don't understand why I see nothing. Also, once the user selections an item from the menu, the item is highlighted properly and then disappears correctly, although I can't be sure, since I never saw the menu on the screen. I have used dbx to step thru the process so I know that the code is being executed. I am using a Sun 3/110 with 4meg and OS4.0.3. Running uwm with no Speedups. Any one with any idea what I am doing, or not doing, please feel free to either email or reply thru this group. Thanx in advance!!! nancie nancie@hal.CSS.GOV
