[comp.windows.x] Help with X toolkit

weltyc@nisc.nyser.net (Christopher A. Welty) (02/01/88)

I have been programming with the Toolkit like mad ever since I got
home from the conference, sometimes with great success and sometimes
wtih great annoyance.

Although I have been able to cope with the general lack of docs, the
lack of information about the actual existing widgets is starting to
get to me.  Specifically, I am having trouble getting the text and
cascading widgets to not fail miserably.

I have had some luck getting a new widget class of my own to at least
begin to work, so I am not completely stupid as far as the toolkit
is concerned.

What I would really appreciate (either e-mailed to me, or posted here,
or both) is a piece of code that uses pop-up cascading menus and
text widgets in interesting ways.  I have learned a great deal from
studying some of the clients supplied with the release, but I really
need more help.

Please, please, please....if you have written a little program that
might demonstrate these things to me (and to others!?!) please
send me (and post) a copy!!

I really appreciate the help!!
