[comp.os.vms] DECWindows returning garbage...?

sengupta@enuxha.eas.asu.edu (Uttam Sengupta) (03/19/90)

We seem to be getting garbage back from the following structures in
DECWindows and UIL :

1. DwtFileSelectionCallbackStruct used in the file selection widget.
  
  the compound string returned contained the correct file name and also
  garbage, i.e., y006 at the start of the file name.

2. we were trying to add items to a list box at run time using 
      
      DwtListBoxAddItem(widget_array[k_the_list], list_txt, 0) 
 
 but here again, we have garbage in list_txt and furthermore it is not placed
 in the list box.

 Is there any way to get rid of this garbage we seem to be picking up?

 Thanks in advance
