[comp.windows.x] HP widgets on X11 R3

razdan@oakhill.UUCP (Anshuman Razdan) (10/31/89)

My problem is as follows :

I am trying to use the XHp widgets( with patches applied for X11R3) on X11/NeWS
server on a SUN 3/470.  The problem is actually with the textwidget(HPtextwidget).
It does not faithfully reproduce the keyboard input in to the widget. For
example the char "d" is returned as blank and char "i" performs the equivalence
of a RETURN or ENTER.  This did not happen when I used the same widget under R2.

I tried lookin into the code of TextEdit.c int he routine InsertChar. The code
looks as follows:
static void InsertChar(ctx, event)
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------+*/
  XwTextEditWidget ctx;
  XEvent *event;
{
  unsigned char strbuf[STRBUFSIZE];
  int     keycode;
  XwEditResult result;
  XwTextBlock text;

  text.length = XLookupString (event, strbuf, STRBUFSIZE,
                               &keycode, &compose_status);
  if (text.length==0) return;
  StartAction(ctx, event);
  text.ptr = &strbuf[0];;
  text.firstPos = 0;
  if (result =
      ReplaceText(ctx, ctx->text.insertPos, ctx->text.insertPos,
                  &text, TRUE)) {
    if (result != XweditReject)
      XBell(XtDisplay(ctx), 50);
    EndAction(ctx);
    return;
  }
  _XwSetCursorPos(ctx,
        (*(ctx->text.source->scan))(ctx->text.source, ctx->text.insertPos,
                                   XwstPositions, XwsdRight, text.length, TRUE))
;
  _XtTextSetNewSelection(ctx, ctx->text.insertPos, ctx->text.insertPos);

  EndAction(ctx);
}
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------------+*/

While debugging I noticed that the XLookUpString call did not return the proper
string/char back (in strbuf). Also for <KEY>i this routine did not get called
at all. Seems like there is a problem in reporting and appropriatly sending
the events to proper routine(s).

I am confused.  Has anybody out there in the ether encountered this.  Suggestions
and solutions welcome.

Thanx in advance.
