Hello, This is a question along the lines of: Open Look has a particular feature that I am using, and I would like to find an equivalent feature or method in Motif (or in Xt!). The Open Look feature that I am using is the _OL_WIN_BUSY_ property that a client may set on a window. When this property is set on a window, the Open Look window manager assumes that that window is busy, grays out the window header and traps all keyboard and mouse input to the window. The window will beep in response to any input. (This is detailed on p74, Open Look Intrinsics Toolkit Widget Set Programmers Guide, version printed 6/11/90.) Different ideas I have considered using in Motif are: setting XtNsensitive to FALSE on a parent widget inside a particular window, and/or not accepting Focus events. But, there doesn't seem to be any way to ask MWM or other WM's to change the appearance of the window header to appear inactive. Has anyone else considered this? Or devised/found some method for accomplishing this? thanks in advance, Tracy Wiseman * Unify Corporation * Sacramento, CA * (916)920-9092 * tracy@unify.com *
