#Does anyone know, why is it soooo slow to put widgets into BulletinBoardDialog #or anything derived from it. #For example, try: # dialog = XmCreateFormDialog(parent, "dialog", NULL, NULL); # # toggleButton = (Widget) XtCreateWidget("toggleButton", # xmToggleButtonWidgetClass, dialog, NULL, NULL); # label = (Widget) XtCreateWidget("label", # xmLabelWidgetClass, dialog, NULL, NULL); # . # . # . # someOther = (Widget) XtCreateWidget("someOther", # xmSomeOtherWidgetClass, dialog, NULL, NULL); # #Changing XmCreateFormDiaog to XmCreateForm speeds thing up by at least a #factor of 10. We are using ISC UNIX System V.3.2.2.2, ISC X11.3, ISC Motif 1.0. We found a beautiful solution to the "slow Dialogs" problem. Here is the code: XtSetArg(args[0], XmNmwmInputMode, 1); popupShell = XtCreateWidget("Config", transientShellWidgetClass, ShellParent, args, 1); someForm = XtCreateManagedWidget("SomeForm", xmFormWidgetClass, popupShell, NULL, NULL); XtPopup(popupShell, XtGrabExclusive); This creates an equivalent of XmFormDialog, but it is much faster to put widgets into it. Thank you all that tried to help with the problem. Tania. -- ---- SpaceLabs Inc. hg1915@milton.u.washington.edu Redmond, WA
