424.0. "UIL TRANSLATION_TABLE Definitions" by SRFSUP::EGGERT (Mary Eggert) Thu Mar 16 1989 14:05

The "VMS DECwindows User Interface Language Reference Manual" (SDC version)
contains an example of using the TRANSLATION_TABLE function (Example 2-9, page
2-26) that includes part of the following:

    LIST new_translations:
	ARGUMENTS
	{ TRANSLATION =
	  TRANSLATION_TABLE
	  {
	   '<Btn1Down>:	    DWTPBFILLHIGHLIGHT() DWTPBARM() DWTPBUNGRAB()',
	   '<Btn1Up>:	    DWTPBFILLUNHIGHLIGHT() DWTPBACTIVATE() \
			    selection(self_destruct) DWTPBDISARM()'
	    ...
	};

My questions are the following:

1) Is the UIL syntax for "<Btn1Down>", "<Btn1Up>" etc defined in the
documentation somewhere?  I would like to know the UIL syntax for all the
different events.

2) Do the procedures DWTPBFILLHIGHLIGHT(), DWTPBFILLUNHIGHLIGHT(), etc come with
DECwindows?  If so, where can I get a list of them?  I don't want to rewrite
procedures that already exist. 

I really would like to define a translation table using UIL, so any help in this
area would be greatly appreciated!

Does this silence mean that we have no UIL gurus?

The UIL gurus probably hang out in the CLT::UIL-DRM conference.  Press
SELECT to add it to your notebook.
