[comp.windows.x.motif] Questions on UIL !!!

prabu@atc1.atc.com (L. Prabu) (04/30/91)

Hello Motif Xperts,

    I am new to motif and please forgive me if my questions were silly. 
    But, I would appriciate if any body out there help me out with
    the following questions:

Question 1:
-----------

Is it possible to specify the follwing in value section of UIL:

value:
     common_string: imported compound_string;
     title: common_string;
     text_label: common_string;
     .
     .
     .

     What I want is to import a named string which is defined in a common string
     definition uil file say "common_string.uil" and use that named string
     in a local uil file in more than one place with different names. 

Question 2:
-----------

Is it possible to include path environment variable in the bitmap file 
specification ?

value:

    my_bitmap: xbitmapfile ('$MY_BITMAPDIR/myBitmapFile.bm');

    I would like to kepp all the bitmap files required by the
    program in one place and specify its directory location thru system
    environment variable so that our program can pick up the files from 
    that directory.

Please send your responses via e-mail to: prabu@atc.com

Thanks in advance !!
