I created a widget with XmCreateScrolledText and set the text resource XmNeditMode to XmMULTI_LINE_EDIT. The scroll bars don't appear. Does anyone know why they might not appear and how I can make them appear? Thank you. Steve

What version of Motif, what system ?
It works pretty well in 1.1.
The official OSF bug_report fro Motif might be a little *formal* for
this public group but please, at least, specify some useful information like
the release version (1.0, 1.0.A, 1.1.S, 1.1 ...), the server (R2, R3, R4) and
the client hardware (PMAX, Sun, HP...).

You must set the resources XmNscrollVertical and/or XmNscrollHorizontal to True. Note: this *must* be done at creation time only (in at least Motif pre-1.1). This seems like an unreasonable requirement, but there you have it. -- dan ---------------------------------------------------- O'Reilly && Associates argv@sun.com / argv@ora.com Opinions expressed reflect those of the author only.

I've found (at least for Motif V1.0) that the horizontal scrollbar doesn't appear if you have XmNwordWrap set to True; turning wordWrap off makes it appear. -Rick -- Rick Murphy, WA1SPT/4 Digital Customer Center, Landover, MD Domain: murphy@ufp.dco.dec.com -or- murphy@ufp.enet.dec.com Bang: decwrl!ufp.enet!murphy Ding: (301) 306-2985 Disclaimer: This nonsense came from an AI program written in TECO.

This is wrong. Turning ON the horizontal scrollbar turns OFF wordWrap, not the other way around. They say the memory is the first thing to go; I don't remember what the second thing is :-) -Rick -- Rick Murphy, WA1SPT/4 Digital Customer Center, Landover, MD Domain: murphy@ufp.dco.dec.com -or- murphy@ufp.enet.dec.com Bang: decwrl!ufp.enet!murphy Ding: (301) 306-2985 Disclaimer: This nonsense came from an AI program written in TECO.
