Subject:novice question: RowColumn widget Organization: FZI Karlsruhe Distribution: comp.windows.x.motif Date: Mon, 19 Nov 90 16:40:29 GMT Lines: 19 I have got a variable set of togglebuttons which I want to manage in a scolled widget, but the scrolled widget shall not scroll horizontal. Furthermore I want, that the togglebuttons appear in more than one column, if their width is small enough. I tried also this: XtSetArg (al[ac], XmNwidth, 800); ac++; XtSetArg (al[ac], XmNresizeWidth, False); ac++; XtSetArg (al[ac], XmNorientation, XmHORIZONTAL); ac++; It works except that the resulting height of the RowColumn widget is just the height for only one line of togglebuttons. I'm using Motif 1.1 on a Sun 4 Thanks for any help

A new version of DXRN/MXRN are available. They track changes made to the
original code (XRN) up to XRN V6.14. Many new features and bugs fixed.
For those who don't know, DXRN is a DECwindows (XUI) version of XRN.
MXRN is a Motif (V1.0 or V1.1) version of XRN. Both have been tested on
various DEC systems, both VMS and ULTRIX.
The VMS kit for this release provides support for TCP/IP products other
than DEC's UCX. (Thanks to the contributors!)
-Rick
How to get DXRN:
(For ULTRIX:)
% ftp gatekeeper.dec.com
user: anonymous
password: guest
ftp> cd pub/DEC
ftp> binary
ftp> get dxrn.tar.Z
ftp> quit
% uncompress dxrn.tar.Z
% tar xf dxrn.tar
(For VMS:)
$ ftp gatekeeper.dec.com
user:anonymous
password: guest
ftp> cd pub/DEC
ftp> get dxrn.share
ftp> quit
$ @dxrn.share
How to install DXRN:
0. See the file CHANGES for a list of changes from the last release.
1. Does an NNTP server (version 1.5 or greater) exist on your network?
- if not, get the NNTP server code and install it
(via anonymous ftp from ucbvax.berkeley.edu)
- make sure that XHDR (in nntp/common/conf.h) was defined
when your NNTP server was installed.
(XRN will tell you if it has not been defined)
2. Look at `config.h' and make the necessary modifications
(default settings, location of various files, domain name, etc.)
(VMS Users need to look at clientlib.c and define the proper
symbol for the TCP/IP they're using.)
** Note: Unless you want to look like you're coming from DEC, it's
important to edit at least the 'domain' and 'organization'
defines in config.h. You've been warned.
3. Make dxrn
(For ULTRIX:)
a. Build dxrn
make
b. Build mxrn
make -f Makefile.motif
(For VMS:)
a. Build dxrn:
$ @make-dxrn
b. Build mxrn:
$ @make-mxrn

Hello Motif World. I would like to be on a direct mail for this newsgroup if it is possible. Our bulletin board to this newsgroup is pathed through a not too reliable link and I would like up to the minute information as well. I posted a message the other day which I don't think made it, so here it goes again. I have a simple application which is started by three pushbuttons placed in a Form shell. These push buttons call up respectively a file selection box, a help message box and a are you sure you want to quit message box. I find all of these things run smoothly enough the first time they are selected. but the second time they are selected, there is a 3 second pause before a window is displayed. I am sure I am not doing something right and would like someone to tell me what they think it is. What is the general philosophy for user interface creation with motif anyway. Is it the following. In the beginning create all your windows, pushbuttons, forms etc. And if you do not want them controlled by anything but you, select the automanagement to be false and as required manage and unmanage the windows of choice. If so, then what of mapping, and what of events. It seems to me a quick paragraph would set me straight. So here's your chance to show your stuff. Send me a paragraph (or two) which best summarizes what you think the overall motif userinterface building philosophy is or should be. I'll be happy to post the results. Cheers. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | | | "I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean."| | -- G. K. Chesterton | | | | Anne C.
