[comp.sys.sgi] resetting icontitle interactively?

millercb@gauguin.Princeton.EDU (Clifford B Miller) (01/05/91)

Hi folks,
I'm struggling with a NeWS problem.  I've got a person who wants to change
his icontitles interactively.  I figured out without too much pain how to
add an IconMenu entry "Change Label" so that the icon title could be
changed.  I had it set the icon title to a fixed test string and it
worked.

But then trying to get the keyboard input to interactively set the
IconTitle interactively?  ARGH!  I actually got to the point of receiving
keyboard events, and could APPEND characters to the icontitle, but could
never get it to reset itself initially.

Has anyone else ever tried this?  (resetting the IconTitle of an Icon
interactively?)  If so, PLEASE email me at cliff@research.nec.com.
I thank you copiously in advance.
