1705.0. "Question on File manipulations with Decwindows" by RICKS::WENNERS () Thu Nov 09 1989 07:54

    
    	I am not sure this is the right place to ask this question but
    here goes.  I am working on an application using the Xtoolkit and
    Decwindows.  The problem that I have is trying to read in the contents
    of a file to a window so that it can be manipulated.
    
    	One way that I thought would be possible was to select the filename
    from a list box and open a window with the file contents so it could
    be manipulated.  Another thought was to have the user type in the
    filename and search through the directory and open a window with
    the file contents.  Once the file is in a window, I would want to
    be able to manipulate the file and be able to select things in the
    file for more information on.
    
       What I am trying to accomplish is to have an application that
    would be able to determine the Widget-Hierarchy in a source code
    listing.  Basically, you would select the widget from the source
    code and ask for more information on that particular widget such
    as:
    
    	Parents?
    	Children?
    	Attributes?
    	Arguments?
    
    	Any help would be appreciated.
