[comp.windows.open-look] Need help with olit textFieldWidget

jhuikku@hawk.ulowell.edu (John Huikku CPE) (05/29/91)

	When I set the XtNstring value of a textfield widget,
I want to be able to see the end of the string without having
to scroll right.  I tried setting XtNcursorPosition and 
XtNdisplayPosition, which are listed for another widget type,
but they did not work.  Does anyone know how to do this?

				Thanks,
					--Rob.

In USL's OPEN LOOK 4.0 or Sun's OLIT2.5:

The TextField widget is built using a TextEdit widget (which
has the XtNcursorPosition and XtNdisplayPosition resources) -
but to set those resources, you'll have to get the id of the
textfield's TextEdit widget first...which you can access
by doing a GetValues() for XtNtextEditWidget.
