I was wondering if someone could answer a question for me: I have a Scrolled Text widget with a Form Dialog as a parent. The resources I set when I call XmCreateScrolledText are: XmNeditable: False XmNwordWrap: True XmNeditMode: XmMULTI_LINE_EDIT XmNcursorPositionVisible: False The resources set in my .Xdefaults file are: !!! width and height resources for Form dialog omitted app_name*scrolled_text_widget.scrollHorizontal: false app_name*scrolled_text_widget*scrollingPolicy: automatic app_name*scrolled_text_widget*scrollBarDisplayPolicy: as_needed I expected that the scroll bars would only be displayed when the amount of text in the widget indicated so. That is, if the amount of text exceeds the amount that can be displayed in the scrolled text window, the scroll bar will appear. Otherwise, the scroll bar will not appear (not enough text in the widget to warrant one). Instead, the scroll bar is ALWAYS present. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. P.S. I'm using X11R3 and Motif 1.0.3 email: lfs@mbunix.mitre.org

Thanks in advance. Nope. ScrolledText nicely overrides those resources and forces scrollbars on all the time. If you find out how to fix it let me know.
