[comp.windows.x.motif] ErrorDialog problems

nazgul@alphalpha.com (Kee Hinckley) (08/17/90)

o   Has anyone successfully created a MessageDialog and then changed the
    dialogType and seen the symbol (or anything else) change?  I want to
    create the dialog once, and then redisplay it with different symbols
    depending on the severity of the error, but it never gets any symbol
    at all.

o   There is a bug in ErrorDialogs sizing (and maybe more generally
    with text widgets).  If I create an error dialog with a multi-line
    error message, the width of the widget is determined by the width
    of the first line in the error, subsequent longer lines are truncated.
    Setting wordwrap doesn't do anything here (after all, technically it's
    a single line text widget).  Neither does setting the resizeWidth
    resource.

I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept
responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate
everyone else's.
