Hello world,
After a lot of experimenting I wonder if someone can help me solving
two problems.
1.
My customer is interested in creating decterms on specified positions.
I have been testing with a program using the Decw$term_port call but I can't
influence the position on where the decterm pops up.
The setup file in the Decwtermport I use is the decw$terminal_default file
(setup_file=0 in the argument list) on sys$login.
Neither x and y specifications as the use of geometry lines in this setup
file seems to cause any effect.
Question: Am I using the correct procedures?
If yes : What do I have to put in the decw$terminal_default file.
If no : What procedure should I use.
2.
Is it possible to disable the Customize pulldown menu in a DECTERM (as it
is possible in the sessionmanager menu) with a "sensitive.false" specification
somewhere?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. I'm reluctant to tell people how to do this (I don't think it's very user-friendly to disable Customize), but: DECW$TERMINAL*setup_menu_entry.sensitive: off If you're really only interested in disabling specific features in Customize, you could look at the .UIL file and just turn off the widgets you don't want. -- Bob | |||||

RE: .0 If you are by any chance using VMS 5.3 then you get DECwindows V2.0 which will allow you to do a CREATE/TERM from DCL to accomplish the same thing. -=> Jim <=- | |||||

Thanks for the replys.
Both were very useful and my problem is solved.
