This might be a repost, please excuse the waisted bandwidth if it realy is a repost.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am having problems with the translation tables. I am running X11R4 and Motif
1.0 from MIT on a Sun 3/260, and X11R3 from Apple, and Motif 1.0 from Integrated
Computer Solutions on an MacIntosh with A/UX. The probelm is on both machines.
The problem: For a widget of the xmPushButtonWidgetClass I am trying to add the
XmNhelpCallback to display some help for this push button.
In my C code I write:
{
...
n = 0;
HelpCallback[0].callback = HelpProc;
HelpCallback[0].closure = (caddr_t)"Help string.";
XtSetArg(args[n], XmNhelpCallback, HelpCallback); n++;
XtCreateManagedWidget("Name", xmPushButtonWidgetClass, parent, args, n);
...
}
In the x resource data base file I write:
...
*Name.translations: #augment\n\
<Btn3Down>: Help()\n\
<Key>F1: Help()
...
Now if I push the 3rd mouse button, or the F1 key I get the help function. But I
can not push button 1 and call the XmNactivateCallback function. #augment is
acting like #replace. I have also tried, #replace, and #override, they all act
like #replace.
Has anybody seen that problem, or am I doing something wrong.
Please use the address below to reply by e-mail.
Thanks in advance,

So I don't think it's been fixed yet. > I'd call it a "feature". Motif has rather "inovative" approach to translation tables. By default, the table is NULL. If there is nothing specified (either in resource file, or in args), the widget's Initialize finds: Oh, there is NULL in translations, lets use our default ones. If, however, the translatins have become non-NULL, the default translations are NOT used at all. Thus, using #augment, #override or a new table has identical effect: defines the new translations. The only way you can (I *think*) augment/override Motif's default translations is AFTER Initialize, using SetValues. Note, however, that Motif managers do play with translation tables as well ... so that results are not always easy to predict. -- =*= Opinions presented here are solely of my own and not those of Auto-trol =*= Martin Brunecky {...}sunpeaks!auto-trol!marbru (303) 252-2499 (sometimes also: marbru@auto-trol.COM ) Auto-trol Technology Corp. 12500 North Washington St., Denver, CO 80241-2404
