Sun SPARCStation, Motif 1.0.3 I am using a scrolled list with selectionPolicy set to EXTENDED_SELECT. Works fine when using the mouse, but I also need to provide some fancier selection functions based on the content of the list entries (the selection is done from a menu.) When I use XmListSelectPos, the selection behaves as a single select - each time it is called on an item, it removes all other selections and leaves the last one selected as the only one selected. Not much good for when I want to select all items. I got it to work (mostly) by changing the selectionPolicy to MULTIPLE_SELECT before doing the select, and then changing it back afterwards. This seems sort of wrong-headed to me - seems this should be an option on the selection function. Anyone have any experience with this, suggestions or comments? -- Greg Parkinson Phone: 212-657-7814 Citibank Fax: 212-657-0068 111 Wall Street E-Mail: uunet!ibism!glp New York, NY 10043
