I would like to use the attachment attributes (DwtAttachNone,
DwtAttachAdb, etc...), to attach the children of a scroll_window widget
(the children two scroll_bar widgets, and a window widget).
Is this possible, or can you only attach the children of
an attached dialog box?
A coded example would be great.
Thanks.
Cecile.

Since scroll_window is not a subclass of attached_dialog, my guess is that any such attachments would (at best) be ignored. The question arises: do you need such attachments? The scroll_window knows how to configure these special children provided that you tell it which child is which. (In UIL, that would mean specifying the following arguments for the scroll_window: horizontal_scroll_bar = scroll_bar <your horizontal scroll_bar name>; vertical_scroll_bar = scroll_bar <your vertical scroll_bar name>; work_window = window <your window name>; If you're not using UIL, you could use XtSetValues to designate these children. I believe there is also a routine like SetMainAreas for scroll_windows, but I don't have the name at my fintertips.) | |||||

Additional question: how to use attachement attributes when you don't
use UIL? I mean: which function, which argument...? In one word, help!
Pascal.

I found the answer to my previous question.
Just in case somebody else is interested:
the attachment attributes are constraint attributes belonging to any
widget made a child of an Attached Dialog Box.
This is documented in the "VMS DECwindows Toolkit Routines Reference
Manual", in the section dedicated to the Attached Dialog Box Create
low-level routine.
Pascal (going on trying to write something that could be named a
DECwindows program).
