[comp.windows.x] HP textedit

   This is Jennifer Wang from GE CRD at Schenectdy, NY.  I am currently
   using X window to write a text editor for a database program.  I have
   a few questions about HP textEdit widget:
   
   - Is it possible to change insert mode to override mode.
  
   - I use modVerify callback to detect any insertion or deletion.  When
     a character is entered, a callback function is called.  The problem
     is that the character just entered would not show on the screen
     until the callback routine is done.  I have tried XwTextRedraw, 
     XwTextUpdate, and none of them worked.  I am wondering if there is
     any way to force the character on to screen at beginning of the 
     callback routine.

   My email address is wangj@crd.ge.com.  I will be appreciated if you
   can reply as soon as possible.  Thanks.
