[comp.windows.x] Menu Widget - Why Doesn't It Work ??

dymm@b.cs.wvu.wvnet.edu (David Dymm) (01/06/89)

We tried using the new release 3 "trial" menu widget that was
located in the release directory  contrib/widgets/MenuBox.
Needless to say, it did not work.
On execut5ion, we got an error that one of the command
buttons (the one at the "bottom" of the menu) has zero width
and height.  From the debugger, we could see that was NOT true.
We solved the problem by changed the "createManagedWidget"
calls.  Instead of using the new menu Widget class'es, we
used the old reliable "top level widget class" and the
"box" widget class.

Question:  Is the software supposed to work without change?
Why was our changes required??

Thanks for your help.
