2178.0. "position and "customize" decterm problem" by UTRTSC::LITH () Thu Feb 01 1990 05:51

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.

This should work:

DECW$TERMINAL.x: 100
DECW$TERMINAL.y: 200

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.

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.
