[comp.windows.x.motif] List Double Click Selection

thurk@mct-1.UUCP (Dan Thurk) (05/23/91)

 In my callback routine for a selection box OK button, I need to determine if
the callback value is selected from the list or is a new entry.  I get the
XmNselectedItemCount from the list widget child of the selection box.  If
this is not zero, I then get the XmNselectedItems string table from the list
widget.  I use XtSetArg and XtGetValues to retrieve these values.  Everything
works fine if the item is clicked to select it, and then I click on the OK
button to activate the callback.  However, when I simply double-click on an
item in the list, XmNselectedItemCount is zero.

 Why isn't a list item placed into the selected item table when
double-clicked on?

 We use X11R3, motif 1.0, Interactive Unix 2.02.
