Hi,
anyone got examples of doing keyboard IO using XLIB only, I have
looked in most conferences that cover X and DECW but have only found
CYCLE.C (which isn't quite what I want), and Toolkit examples.
My customer is writing an application in straight XLIB (no toolkit at
all) and is finding it hard to get text input from the keyboard. All
the examples we provide with V5.1 use the toolkit.
Any help/pointers appreciated.
Thank's
Rob

The general idea is like this:
switch( event.type)
{
case KeyPress:
l = XLookupString( &event, keybuf, 9, &ks, &cs);
for( c=0; c<l; c++)
{ /* Put each character in key translation */
putchar( keybuf[ c]);
}
return;
}
Function keys and other non-graphic keys are handled slightly
differently.
