[comp.windows.x.motif] Mouse motion translations

watson@dev1f.mdcbbs.com (09/25/90)

I am trying to add translations for mouse button 1 down and mouse motion, in 
order to do draw an echo rectangle for application block selection in an 
XmDrawingArea widget.

I know I'm adding the translations correctly (using XtAugmentTranslations()),
because I can detect mouse button 1 down and up, and mouse motion when no 
mouse buttons are depressed.

The problem is, my event handler is not entered for motion events when
mouse button 1 is down.

I'm thinking of using XtAddEventHandler() instead, but it still seems that
the translation table method should work.

Has anyone else seen this problem or know the solution?  We're using 
VMS Motif 1.1.

Thanks in advance,
