I am trying to use XtGetValues to get the current length of a string in a text widget. I am using the following code fragment: n=0; XtSetArg(args[n], XtNlength, &length); n++; XtGetValues(w, args, n); printf("length is %d\n", length); If I set the variable `length' to -1 before this fragment the printf statement allways prints -1. What am I doing wrong? Mark Patrick Ardent Computer uunet!ardent!mlp
