This is a trivial question but one I cant answer!
I want to display text created by my program in a window in
much the same way that the DECterm widget does ie I simply
want to write a load of ascii text to a region.
I cannot work out how you write text to a widget such as the
'window' widget (as an aside I cant see what a window widget
does at all, since it can have no children according to the UIL
manual)!
The DECburger example 'cheats' by writing the order to a list box,
so that was no help.
Thanks for any replies,
Chris Firth

The idea of a window widget, is that after you create it, and realize it, you can call XtDisplay and XtWindow to get the Display and Window of the window widget. You then provide an expose callback procedure to do whatever X drawing primitives you want (using the Display and Window), including text. Leo | |||||
