Why doesn't the FileSelectionBox's filter procedure work? I set the XmNdirMask
and the XmNdirSpec to something like XmStringCreateLtoR("*.c",
XmSTING_DEFAULT_CHARSET), but it lists all of the files in the directory. If
I go to the directory mask input field and change the mask, all of the files
are still listed. What's wrong?
Thanks in advance.nazgul@alphalpha.com (Kee Hinckley) (11/16/90)

Well, someone just sent me mail that I think they meant for you that said that file filters didn't work right on the Sun from 1.0 to 1.02. As for getting Motif, I'd go to wherever you got 1.0. I'm not sure that anyone is shipping binaries yet, but if you pay the $1000 to OSF and get source the port shouldn't be too hard. Of course if the problem is just the Motif version then you should go back to the vendor and see if 1.03 fixes it. ----- End of forwarded message -----

It works for me. I create a FileSelectionBox and reuse it whenever possible. Each time I give XmNdirMask resource as you stated in the base note. Then I invoke XmFileSelectionDoSearch(shell, NULL). Setting a value of XmNdirMask does not initiate this file search with Motif 1.0 widgets. It is searched at creation time only. Hope this works for you.
