Hi, I am having trouble with Scrolling Lists under XView. I need a fixedwidth font and the code below is not working. I have looked in all of the XView programs that I have source to, and none of them sets the list font. Thanks to anyone you can steer me in the correct direction. Please use the email address below when replying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Greve -- EG&G, Energy Measurements -- Remote Sensing Laboratory UUCP: {...}!sun!sunvegas!herbert!chris {...}!uunet!rsl-egg!chris Example Code: font = (Xv_Font)xv_find(frame, FONT, FONT_FAMILY, FONT_FAMILY_DEFAULT_FIXEDWIDTH, NULL); xv_set(plist, PANEL_LIST_FONT, font, NULL);

I am posting this 'cause it's the n'th time I have answered this question (after asking it myself in a similar forum ... :-)) PANEL_LIST_FONT works on individual list entries, not on the whole list. You must set it for each list item. I suspect this is a bug. Try this everywhere you create a list entry, given: font = (Xv_Font)xv_find(frame, FONT, FONT_FAMILY, FONT_FAMILY_DEFAULT_FIXEDWIDTH, NULL); each entry creation becomes: xv_set(plist, PANEL_LIST_INSERT, row, PANEL_LIST_FONT, row, font, XV_NULL); This is a pain, but it does work.

The parallel list PANEL_LIST_FONTS also works but is buggy. You cannot have an abbreviated list. You must have a font entry for each item. In other words: xv_create( panel, PANEL_LIST, PANEL_LIST_STRINGS, "One", "Two", "Three", 0, PANEL_LIST_FONTS, lucida, 0, NULL ); doesn't work correctly but: xv_create( panel, PANEL_LIST, PANEL_LIST_STRINGS, "One", "Two", "Three", 0, PANEL_LIST_FONTS, lucida, lucida, lucida, 0, NULL ); does. -Barry NAME: Barry A.
