I have a list widget which does not grow horizontally to match the length of
the longest item. The list will grow to allow a 13 character item but will
clip any longer items. When the number of items in the list exceeds the
number visible, the vertical scroll bar clips the list items even further.
The following is the widget organization:
XmMainWindow
XmMenuBar
XmCascadeButton
XmPulldownMenu
XmPushButton
XmPushButton
XmCascadeButton
XmBulletinBoard
XmScrolledWindow
XmList
XmPushButton
The above widget structure was specified using the UIL.
I have tried specifying XmNheight and XmNwidth arguments for the Bulletin
Board and Main Window widgets to no avail. When I replaced the Main Window
widget with a Bulletin Board, the list works (but when I replaced the Main
Window with a Form widget the list exhibits the same behavior as it did
using the Main Window).
Why can't I (or how can I) use the Main Window widget in this scenario.
I am using X11R3, motif 1.0, Interactive Unix 2.02.

In this case I have the scrollbars turned on always. Adding new items works to expand the horizontal scrollbar, however items that I add before managing the list don't seem to. I think in the first case I use the resources to set the list, and in the second I make a call. Alfalfa Software, Inc. | Poste: The EMail for Unix nazgul@alfalfa.com | Send Anything...

I was happily using it within a Form widget, and it stopped resizing vertically when I compiled it in 1.1. I had to change it into a non-scrolled list widget, which seems to work well with the attachments. By the way, I did set scrollBarDisplayPolicy to STATIC and visibleItemCount to 20. Changing the plethora of resources related to the list did not help. Maybe changing the ones for the scrolling window may make a difference. Still bogus tho...
