I urgently need the source to any Motif widget for an emergency ramp-up on widget writing a-la-Motif. I am a reasonably educated Xlib person and Xm *user*, but now I gotta write a widget by Monday 11/26. The target is something akin to a scale widget, but elaborated: It is to be a storage tank level indicator, with "set points" chosen by the user for actions to be taken when the tank level crosses a set point. +-----+-------+ | | | | -> | | -> set-points | | | | | | | -> | | | -> |-------| current level | | some | | | color | | | | | | | | | | | +-------+ | | | <text-label>| +-------------+ I would appreciate any sample code or pointers. I'll be forever grateful. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Warren Tucker, TuckerWare emory!n4hgf!wht or wht@n4hgf.Mt-Park.GA.US ANSI C should have been named D, or Son of C

For any specific input, you can always use XtAddActions. Trying to learn how to write a widget in two days is ... ambicious. But if you really want to do it, use Dave Young's book. There is nothing terribly Motif-dependent in your widget. You don't even have to subclass of XmPrimitive, since you won't use any of its resources anyway. The only things that make Motif widgets writing a sorrow experience are related to Motif traversal - I doubt you need it. -- =*= Opinions presented here are solely of my own and not those of Auto-trol =*= Martin Brunecky [BORN TO BASH UIL] marbru@auto-trol.COM (303) 252-2499 {...}ncar!ico!auto-trol!marbru Auto-trol Technology Corp. 12500 North Washington St., Denver, CO 80241-2404
