I am trying to set the values of the resources of the icon associated with my application from a resource file. I can set the iconName resource with no problem, but setting the iconPixmap resource yields no results. Looking at the resource file for the X application 'xcalc', I see that the value of the iconPixmap gets set as follows: XCalc*iconPixmap: calculator However, the same trick will not for my application. I know I can set the pixmap from within the actual code, and also by using the iconImage resource in my window manager resource file, but I'd like to know if there is a way to set the value from a resource file as in the xcalc application. Any help would be appreciated. Mike Ketchmere mek@devvax.jpl.nasa.gov

This is because the Athena vendor shell widget installs a string-to-bitmap resource converter, while yours does not. You may want to add such a converter to your vendor shell. Many vendors do this. -- Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif. Internet: klee@wsl.dec.com uucp: uunet!decwrl!klee
