765.0. "Vertical scroll bar with SText ?" by CSC32::K_TICE (Ada...Keeping the world safe for beaurocracy!) Wed May 10 1989 20:14

/* Why doesn't this give me a vertical scroll bar ???
   Using the low-level routine, DwtSTextCreate works just fine.

   Thanks,
   Ken

765.1Not a dynamic resourceMELTIN::dickSchoeller - Xperimenting with XNotesWed May 10 1989 20:586
I am pretty sure that VerticalScroll is not a dynamic resource.  You must
specify that argument as part of the override list in the creation call
instead of use XtSetValues.

765.2So only via low-level?29067::K_TICEAda...Keeping the world safe for beaurocracy!Thu May 11 1989 12:574
    Which means you MUST create it ONLY via the low-level widget routine?

765.3Yes and it's a bug52494::CLEOVOULOUMarios CleovoulouThu May 11 1989 14:1113

    Yes, or via UIL.                                       
    
    .-2's "not a dynamic resource" statement leads one to believe that this
    is the intended behaviour, however, the documentation says nothing
    about this.  I'd say that this is (yet another) SText widget
    "SetValues" bug and I suggest you QAR it.
