How is the narrow spacing of the lines obtained in DECterm ?
We want to output text into a list box and fail to come down
to the spacing that allows to display 80 lines on a screen.
We use DECwindows V1 with VMS V5.1-1 and UIL with the font
- DEC-Terminal-Bold-R-Normal--14-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
and the maximum we get on a screen is about 40 lines, even if
the spacing is reduced to 0.
However, the solution should be at hand - as shown by every
DECterm list box. Who's skilled enough to help us ?

Re: .0 The only list box that DECterm uses is the one in the 7-Bit NRCS Selection dialog box, and it has wide spacing. The main text area in the DECterm window is drawn using XDrawImageString calls. -- Bob | |||||
| 1790.2 | Narrow spacing with Toolkit ? | GYPSC::BADE | Tue Nov 28 1989 03:46 | 6 | |
Does this mean we cannot obtain narrow spacing - similar to DECterm -
with the Toolkit ? Or is there a workaround ?
Thanks for your prompt reply,
Dirk

The VLIST widget from the examples notes file will give you closer
spacing in a list-box-like widget.
