How can I specify to the window manager that windows created
by my application are not allowed to be resized ?
I can't set the "XmNminWidth", "XmNmaxWidth", "XmNminHeight" and
"XmNmaxHeight" resources of the corresponding applicationSell Widget
because I don't know the size of the window at creation time.
I tried unsuccessfully to get the height and width of the window after
the applicationSell Widget had been popup and to set the four above
resources with the got values :
#include <Intrinsic.h>
#include <StringDefs.h>
#include <Label.h>
int main(Cardinal argc,char **argv) {
int i;
Arg args[5];
Widget hello,toplevel;
Dimension larg,haut;
toplevel = XtInitialize(argv[0],"XHello",NULL,0,&argc,argv);
hello = XtCreateManagedWidget("hello",xmLabelWidgetClass,
toplevel,NULL,0);
XtRealizeWidget(toplevel);
i=0;
XtSetArg(args[i],XmNheight, &haut);i++;
XtSetArg(args[i],XmNwidth, &larg);i++;
XtGetValues(toplevel,args,i);
i=0;
XtSetArg(args[i],XmNminHeight, haut);i++;
XtSetArg(args[i],XmNminWidth, larg);i++;
XtSetArg(args[i],XmNmaxHeight, haut);i++;
XtSetArg(args[i],XmNmaxWidth, larg);i++;
XtSetValues(toplevel,args,i);
XtMainLoop();
}

Resizing the window is done through the window manager; window managers can pay attention to the size hints your application places on the window, but there is no guarantee that the window manager will listen. You can try setting the minimum and maximum size hints to your target size and hope for the best. [1/91] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- David B.

If you are using Motif you can remove the resize-handler by setting the XmNmwmDecorations at the shell to: "-resizeh" This is the proper way in Motif, because it shows the user that the application can't be resized.
