I need the sources for a Table widget for Motif 1.1. I remember a lengthy discussion of such a widget taking place sometime earlier this year, say March or April. Unfortunately, I did not save any of the information at that time. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. A anonymous ftp site would be great.

One comes with Wcl which you can get from many places including export.lcs.mit.edu (something like contrib/Wcl1.05 I think). There will be a new one (margins, additional nicities, better documentation) with Wcl 1.06 which is just about ready. I'm just making sure it works with X11R5 right now. A week or so...

David, I desperately need to communicate - having my own set of changes for Wcl 1.06. Need some sort of communication channel, NOW.

A week or so... >David Smyth >Object X Guru >reliable email address coming soon (again) I, for one, have found the Table widget to be very useful for a variety of purposes. Indeed, I did all sorts of tricks on a Form (Athena) widget to make it behave like a table, before I discovered this one. However, and it may well be my fault in interpreting the docs, I have never been able to make the Table widget do one simple trick: to lock the borders of its children so that they always align with their neighbors. Let me show what I mean with a brief example: +---+---+---+ | A | B | C | +---+---+---+ | D | E | +-------+---+ What I would like is that the border between widgets B and C and the border between D and E be always aligned, regardless of how the Table is resized. Nowadays, due to the way in which extra space is redistributed among widgets (or missing space is subtracted from them), and depending on the Table's size and the geometry requests of its children, this is not guaranteed to happen (at least I have not been able to make it happen). I have found at least two applications in which this may be useful: one is a calculator, the other is a block diagram layout, where the connections from one block to its neighbors should be always aligned. In both these cases I have hacked the Table widget source in a horrible way to make it behave like I want (the trick is to pretend that the preferred dimensions of every child are 1x1 pixels), but I would very much like to have this sort of behavior specifiable along with the other layout options. I apologise if I annoyed someone with this lengthy description, especially if I overlooked something in the FM. Thanks to everybody who will be so kind to lend me is attention. -- **************** | Ugo Cei | home: newsuser@oliver.sublink.org * OLIVER * | Via Colombo 7 | office: cei@ipvvis.unipv.it **************** | 27100 Pavia ITALY | "Real Programs Dump Core"
