I am using the AIXWindows 1.0 (Motif Rel. 1.0) and I would like to be able to get rid of the feedback confirmation dialog that appears when you use a "f.quit_mwm" function for a selection in your Motif window manager menu. The reason I want to get rid of the dialog is that I am unable to change the text that is displayed in it. The text currently says "Quit MWM?". The application I am developing is intended for customers who aren't really expected to understand the distinction between a window manager, X clients, etc. So, I would like to be able to display something more like "Exit OUR_APPLICATION_NAME" since OUR_APPLICATION_NAME is what the user asked to start, not "mwm". If I can stop the dialog from popping up, I can add an "Exit" entry to the mwm menu and use a function like "f.exec exit_confirm", where exit_confirm will pop up my own confirmation box with my own text. If the user really wants to exit, I can then do a "kill -1" to mwm. That tells mwm to quit. However, mwm as it is now, will then pop up it's own confirmation box. Our application also runs on the Sparc (under Motif 1.1) and I can use the above technique buy setting the "Mwm*showFeedback" resource such that it doesn't include "quit". mwm then won't pop up the confirmation box when you do a "f.quit_mwm" or a "kill -1" to mwm. So, the only missing link in making my scheme work is being able to suppress the blasted confirmation box. Anyone got a suggestion? I realize this question might do better in "comp.windows.x.motif", but we unfortunately do not get that group. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
