[comp.windows.x.motif] Underlining items in XmList widget

scottr@Atherton.COM (Scott Rasmussen) (08/03/90)

I am looking for ideas on how to underline items in the list widget.
Each item will have 2 XmString segments and I only need to underline
the second segment.  Any ideas?

If the segments are never the same, then you can just use
XmStringDrawUnderline.  If they are the same you might try making
them in to different CharacterSets (both with the same font) and
setting the underline argument to XmStringDrawUnderline to be in
the second character set.  In theory then it ought to only underline
the second segment, since it is the correct character set.  Whether
that works or not I do not know.

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.
