I have problem in making the HP textEdit widget works like the Athena asciiString widget with a vertical scrollbar. By making the textEdit widget a child of a scrolledWindow widget, and setting XtNforceVerticalSB to TRUE, I obtained a vertical scrollbar. But the size of the slider is fixed and only depends on the height ratio between the two widgets (assuming XtNgrow is XwGrowOff). If the textEdit widget is larger than the scrollWindow widget, the former is clipped. Lines entered at the bottom of the screen does not automatically get scrolled. (The user has to do the scrolling.) I have also tried setting XtNscroll to XwAutoScrollVertical, XtNgrow to XwGrowVertical, varying the heights of the widgets, and some combination of the above, but failed to get a scrollable textEdit widget that works as expected. Any idea? Thanks, Po ( po@cs.utexas.edu )
