I seem to be having a problem with Popup widgets. I have a toplevel widget,
that is created with XtInitialize, that has several children widget. There
is an asciiString widget and dialog widget that seem to be giving me grief.
When I invoke the popup widget, which is through a callback attached to a
command widget, using XtPopup(popwidg,XtGrabNone) and after I pop it down
(XtPopdown(popwidg)) the dialog and asciiString widgets will no longer
accept input. Meaning I can type until I am blue in the face with no luck.
The popup widget has a form widget with a bunch of dialog widgets as
children. I have another popup widget that does not affect either of the
aforementioned input widgets (asciiString and dialog) but the difference
between the two popups is that this one only has one child and it is a
label widget. Is there a fundamental concept of popup widgets that I am
not grasping???? Another question is what does the grab_kind argument to
the XtPopup() function refer to and what does each of the possible args
(XtGrabNone,XtGrabNonexclusive, and XtGrabExclusive) mean???? Any help
would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks
