I've been coding a small application using the xview library included
with SunOS 4.1.1. My intent is to have this run in any X11r4 setting.
I am using volume VII (revised) as a reference. I have had a few
questions/problems that I assume others have handled (successfully)
before. Any and all answers are greatly appreciated:
1) Menu buttons are annotated with a triangle pointing to the pop-up
menu. Vol VII indicates that by specifying "PANEL_LAYOUT PANEL_VERTICAL"
that the menu will be below the button. It presists in being to the
right. What I am doing wrong (or is this a "feature")?
2) Though I have installed a CANVAS_RESIZE_PROC in my canvas and
set CANVAS_RETAINED (and WIN_RETAINED) to FALSE, I only get callbacks when
the frame (and subsequently the canvas) is increased in size.
AUTO SHRINK and CLEAR are false, though I've tried all the other
permutations. Shouldn't I be getting callbacks in both increasing AND
decreasing sizes?
3) It seems as though there must be a more complete and/or up-to-date
xview manual. I am using Vol VII (revised and updated for revision 2) and
there are missing pieces and inconsistances between the text, the
appendices as well as the actual functioning.
Thanks for the answers - rob
