[ba.windows.x] debugger widget?

jerry@wrs.wrs.com (Jerry Fiddler) (06/13/90)

I'm trying to figure out how to do a nice widget for a window-based source
language debugger, preferably based on (or related to) the motif widgets. 
I'd like to have the source code in a standard text window, except with
special symbols (a stop sign, an arrow for the PC, and maybe some special
ones) in extra columns on the left side.  I'd like to be able to select the
special chars as if they were buttons, to examine a breakpoint for instance.

I've played with doing this by using a scrolled text widget, and using the
scroll callback to scroll separate list widgets for each column of special
chars, but I've been having a hard time getting this to work.  In any case,
it seems like a new widget might be the right way to do this.

Has anyone figured out a good way to do this?

Thanks.
