I have a customer who is trying to display a work box while
doing some work, however, the work box does not appear
on screen until the work is finished defeating the whole
object.The following is the algorithm used.
DwtWorkBox
XtManageChild
perform work
XtUnmanageChild - commented out in order to see the box on screen
If the Xlib call, XFlush is used just before the work is performed,
a box appears, but no text is written in to it until the work
is finished again.
Does anybody have any explanation for this behaviour.
Any info much appreciated.

Although you are flushing the MapWindow request, you are not handling
the subsequent Expose events, therefore the window is not painted.
You need to (periodically) check the X event queue and XtDispatchEvent
while (XEventQueued (dpy, QueuedAlready)) {
XNextEvent (dpy, &event);
XtDispatchEvent (&event);
}

| 1128.2 | What if you don't want progress boxes? | CHEFS::WHITTLEYJ | Tue Jul 18 1989 12:45 | 31 | |
I have the opposite problem!
Applications fired up from the UE window now all want to tell me
that they have finished, throwing up a (usually blank) window as
they exit. This is really messing up the demo system we are trying
(urgently) to freeze.
The machine is a VAXstation 3500, recently upgraded to Ultrix 3.1
/ UWS 2.1.
I don't believe that this behaviour was extant before the upgrade,
but on the other hand I am having no such problem with a DECstation
3100 which was also recently upgraded to the same S/W level.
[... but then it is so fast now I may not have noticed ...!!]
I have the feeling that it might just be down to some resource value
which I need to stick in the .Xdefaults file telling the system
to stop confirming process completion status ...... or is it something
lacking in the .ue_profile file?
Anyone able to help me?

I have seen that behavior occasionally, but never reproducably enough that I could debug it. Could you send me your .ue_profile if this is really reproducable? Jeff | |||||
