Motif General Discussion

The user resizes a dialog with a list in it. When the list is emptied and re-populated, the dialog flips back to its original size.

Hi Devs,

I'm having an OpenMotif application with an X window output running over ssh X11 forwarding. The application itself is forked a couple of times upon user interaction. After shutting down the X window, the parent process is dead, not listed any longer in the process table on Linux (SuSe Linux). However, the last seen X11 screen stays frozen on the screen. After killing all forked processes, the X screen goes aways.

I have subclassed an XmDrawingArea.
My subclass draws some things directly, and has one child. I capture Button1Down and call XmProcessTraversal(me,XmTRAVERSE_CURRENT).

The traversal always fails. If my child is an XmLabel, input focus after the traversal call remains with the old widget that had focus; if my child is a button, the button becomes the new focus widget after the traversal call.

Why can't my widget get focus?

There is no pkg-config file which would be very
convenient for many config tools

Here is one that could be used on systems that have
the pkg-config tool:
(Requires may need tunning. lib64 may be replaced with lib
on 32bits systems).

Filename: /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xm.pc
-----------8<-----------8<-----------8<-----------8<-----------
prefix=/usr
exec_prefix=/usr
libdir=/usr/lib64
includedir=/usr/include

Name: Xm
Description: Open Motif Widgets Library, version 2.3.x
Version: 2.3.3
Requires: xproto xt xmu
Requires.private: x11 xext xt xmu xpm
Cflags: -I${includedir}

i just developed Xm app using cross c compiler for powerpc but ther has been a problem
The textboxes are not replying to keystrokes.
The textbox works perfectly on linux machine but fails on power pc.
though buttons are being pushed on the gui an dperform the job but user can enter any text in textboxes

using LessTif v 0.9.2 and OpenMotif v2.1

any help will be appreciated

From time to time, my application crash. Valgrind reports this _all the time_ (which I presume can cause a crash depending on various external factors):

Hi

I have two files that make reference to a function. The function is declared as extern in one file and declare and define in the other file. Compiling generates the error: undefined reference to the function. If I move the file.o (object file) in the makefile file, the error goes away. I am having this problem compiling several of the source codes in the makefile. These source codes compiled on IRIX6.2 without problem. I am moving these codes to SUSE Linux using openMotif 2.2.4+.

My question is:
Does it matter where the object files are in the makefile?
i.e. OBJS = a.o \

Sir, i am implementing a GUI Form in which i have an output area which is for displaying some error messages.

requirements are:
1. at most four message window at a time in that area which are overlapping and we can switch among them using tabs.
2. we can move a particular message window from that place to watch more than one message at a time.

So please suggest me something to implement it.

it is same thing like visual studio 2005 dock widget area at bottom which contain watches and local variable windows at the same time we can switch among them and also move them.
