745.0. "DECtoolkit and OverrideRedirect" by SAC::HIRST_SJ (Lean, Mean, Fast) Tue May 09 1989 10:57

    Is there any way to set the OverrideRedirect Window Attribute using
    the DEC toolkit. I want to create a window without a Window Manager
    Title Bar etc.
    
    I have tried
    
    XtSetArg( arg[0], XtCOverrideRedirect, TRUE );
    XtSetValues( toplevel_widget, arg, 1 );
    
    and using XSetWindowAttributes on the window after the widget has
    been realized (I expect this is too late).
    
    Neither seems to work.
    
    Thanks in advance

    Re .0:

    I believe what you want to use at the top of your widget hierarchy is
    the OverrideShell. Use whatever widgets you want as child of this
    shell.

You might have better luck with XtNoverrideRedirect, which has
the correct (lower) case leading character to match the resource
(as opposed to the resource class default value, which I don't think can
be set by XtSetValues).

    Thanks for all the help - problem solved.
    
    Standard application shell and
    
    XtSetArg( arg[0], DwtNoverrideRedirect, TRUE );
    
    I should read the manual rather than searching .h files
